> Fedora 22 Alpha Release Announcement
> ====================================
>
> The Fedora 22 Alpha release has arrived, with a preview of the latest
> free and open source technology under development. Take a peek inside!
>
> • Get Fedora 22 Alpha Workstation
> https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/prerelease/
>
> • Get Fedora 22 Alpha Server
> https://getfedora.org/en/server/prerelease/
>
> • Get Fedora 22 Alpha Cloud
> https://getfedora.org/en/cloud/prerelease/
>
> • Get Fedora 22 Alpha Spins
> https://spins.fedoraproject.org/prerelease
>
> What is the Alpha release?
> ==========================
>
> The Alpha release contains all the exciting features of Fedora 22's
> editions in a form that anyone can help test. This testing, guided by
> the Fedora QA team, helps us target and identify bugs. When these bugs
> are fixed, we make a Beta release available. A Beta release is
> code-complete and bears a very strong resemblance to the third and
> final release. The final release of Fedora 22 is expected in May.
>
> We need your help to make Fedora 22 the best release yet, so please
> take some time to download and try out the Alpha and make sure the
> things that are important to you are working well. If you find a bug,
> please report it – every bug you uncover is a chance to improve the
> experience for millions of Fedora users worldwide.
>
> Together, we can make Fedora 22 another rock-solid release. We have a
> culture of coordinating new features and pushing fixes upstream as much
> as feasible, and your feedback will help improve not only Fedora but
> Linux and free software on the whole.
>
> Fedora 22 Cloud
> ===============
>
> The Fedora 22 Cloud Edition builds on the work completed during the
> Fedora 21 cycle, and brings in a number of improvements that make
> Fedora 22 a superb choice for running Linux in the cloud.
>
> Ready for the Fedora 22 release, we have:
>
> • The latest versions of rpm-ostree and rpm-ostree-toolbox. You can
> even use rpm-ostree-toolbox to generate your own Atomic hosts from
> a custom set of packages.
>
> • A Vagrant image for Fedora 22 Atomic Host and Cloud Images. We're
> supplying Vagrant boxes that work with KVM or VirtualBox, so users
> on Fedora will be able to easily consume the Vagrant images with
> KVM, and users on Mac OS X or Windows can use the VirtualBox image.
>
> • Tunir: A new, lightweight Continuous Integration (CI) tool for
> rapid testing of cloud images. While being driven by the need for
> simple CI for the Cloud Working Group, it's generic enough to be
> used by anyone to configure and run jobs/tests on their local
> system.
>
> Fedora 22 Server
> ================
>
> The Fedora 22 Server Edition brings several changes that will improve
> Fedora for use as a server in your environment.
>
> • Database Server Role: Fedora 21 introduced Rolekit, a daemon for
> Linux systems that provides a stable D-Bus interface to manage
> deployment of server roles. The Fedora 22 release adds onto that
> work with a database server role based on PostgreSQL.
>
> • Cockpit Updates: The Cockpit Web-based management application has
> been updated to the latest upstream release which adds many new
> features as well as a modular design for adding new functionality.
>
> Fedora 22 Workstation
> =====================
>
> As always, Fedora carries a number of improvements to make life better
> for its desktop users! Here's some of the goodness you'll get in Fedora
> 22 Workstation edition.
>
> Enhancements:
>
> • The GNOME Shell notification system has been redesigned and
> subsumed into the calendar widget.
> • The Terminal now notifies you when a long running job completes.
> • The login screen now uses Wayland by default. This is a step
> towards replacing X with Wayland, and users should not actually
> notice the difference.
> • Installation of GStreamer codecs, fonts, and certain document types
> is now handled by Software, instead of gnome-packagekit.
> • The Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) now features better
> notifications, and uses the privacy control panel in GNOME to
> control information sent.
>
> Appearance:
>
> • The Nautilus file manager has been improved to use GActions, from
> the deprecated GtkAction APIs, for a better, more consistent
> experience.
> • The GNOME Shell has a refreshed theme for better usability.
> • The Qt/Adwaita theme is now code complete, and Qt notifications
> have been improved for smoother experience using Qt-based apps in
> Workstation.
>
> Under the covers:
>
> • The libinput library is now used for both X11 and Wayland for
> consistent input device handling.
>
> Spins
>
> • Plasma 5, the successor to KDE Plasma 4, is now the default
> workspace in the Fedora KDE spin.
>
> • The Xfce spin has been updated to Xfce 4.12 just in time for the
> Alpha release. This release has an enormous number of improvements,
> including HiDPI support, improvements to window tiling, support for
> Gtk3 plugins, and many improvements for multi-monitor support.
>
> Issues and Details
> ==================
>
> This is an Alpha release. As such, we expect that you may encounter
> bugs or missing features. To report issues encountered during testing,
> contact the Fedora QA team via the test mailing list or in #fedora-qa
> on freenode.

> As testing progresses, common issues are tracked on the Common F22 Bugs

>
> For tips on reporting a bug effectively, read "how to file a bug
> report:" https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_file_a_bug_report
>
> Release Schedule
> ================
>
> The full release schedule is available on the Fedora wiki:
> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/22/Schedule
>
> The current schedule calls for a beta release in the middle of April,
> and a final release in the second half of May.

> found during the development process.
