+ <para>
+ Fedora 12 includes <package>Boost</package> 1.39. In Fedora 13,
+ there is an upgrade to Boost 1.40, which, due to some
+ improvements in the way Boost is built, allows Fedora to be in
+ closer sync with the upstream development. The release notes for
+ <package>Boost</package> can be found at <ulink type="http"

+ <title>Systemtap Static Probes</title>
+ <para>

+ <package>Systemtap</package> has been extended to support user
+ space tracing, and in particular to support static (dtrace
+ compatible) markers enabled in various programs in Fedora. This
+ enables users, developers and administrators a high level
+ overview of what is going on with their system or deep down in a

+ <title>Easier Python Debugging</title>
+ <para>
+
+ The <package>gdb</package> debugger has been extended so that it
+ can report detailed information on the internals of the Python 2
+ and Python 3 runtimes. Backtraces involving Python will now by
+ default show mixed C and Python-level information on what such
+ processes are doing, without requiring expertise in the use of
