>  === What's New in Fedora 14? ===
>  
>  ==== For desktop users ====
>  A universe of new features for end users:
>  
>  * libjpeg-turbo:  Users can load and save images faster in Fedora 14
>  than in previous releases.
>  * Spice: Spice (Simple Protocol for Independent Computing
>  Environments) provides users with an enhanced remote desktop
>  experience. Currently, it provides the rudimentary foundation to take
>  advantage of things like Accelerated 2D graphics, encryption, and
>  hardware cursor support.
>  
>  ==== For developers ====
>  For developers there are all sorts of additional goodies:
>  
>  * D: Fedora 14 introduces support for D, a systems programming
>  language combining the power and high performance of C and C++ with
>  the programmer productivity of modern languages such as Ruby and
>  Python.
>  * Python 2 upgrade: The system python 2 stack has been upgraded to 2.7.
>  * GNUStep: A GUI framework based of the Objective-C programming
>  language which is part of the gcc.
>  * Memory Debugging Tools: The new "gdb-heap" package adds a new
> "heap"
>  command to /usr/bin/gdb which allows you to get a breakdown of how a
>  process is using dynamic memory.
>  * Rakudo Star: An implementation of Perl version 6, based on the Parrot VM.
>  * Support for Milkymist: Developers can enjoy developing for
>  Milkymist, an open hardware embedded board, on Fedora 14. Thanks to
>  the Fedora Electronic Lab for their work in this regard.
>  
>  ==== For system administrators ====
>  And don't think we forgot about the system administrators:
>  
>  * Fedora is now available for users of the Amazon Elastic Computing
>  Cloud service, released concurrently with the traditional release.
>  * virt-v2v assists in the easy migration of Xen virtual machines to
>  KVM virtual machines.
>  * A Virtualization Technology Preview Repo allows users to test the
>  very latest developments in virtualization related packages.
>  * Varnish has been updated and includes improved scalability and a new
>  log function.
>  * Apache has been updated and includes a number of module and security fixes.
>  
>  And that's only the beginning. Updated versions of many packages, as
>  usual, will be available in Fedora 14. A more complete list with more
>  details of the new features on board Fedora 14 is available at:
>  
>  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/14/FeatureList?anF14
>  
>  OK, so what are you waiting for?  Go download it!  You know you can't wait.

>  pushed several bug fixes to older releases of Fedora to enable an easy
>  upgrade to Fedora 14.
