<title>Automatic print driver installation </title>
<para>
- In &PRODUCT; &PRODVER;, functionality has been added to leverage RPM and PackageKit capabilities for automatic installation of printer drivers. When a user plugs in any of the supported printers, the driver identifies itself to PackageKit, and once authorized the driver is downloaded and installed automatically. Thanks to this change, &PRODUCT; bootable Live images no longer need to ship all printer drivers. This functionality equals or surpasses that of proprietary operating systems, where driver support is difficult and time-consuming. It also continues to build on the new, compelling functionality of free desktop components along with RPM.

<title>Automatic installation of language packs </title>

- A number of large suite-type packages, such as OpenOffice.org, Eclipse, and KDE, package their translated content separately as <firstterm>langpacks</firstterm> due to size issues. Now with the <ulink url="http://dingyichen.livejournal.com/17133.html"> langpack plugin</ulink>, when yum detects that a langpack is needed and available for a package the user requests, yum automatically downloads and installs the langpack as well. The user no longer needs to specifically request installation of language support for these types of suites. In the future it will be possible to extend this support further throughout the distribution.

While we support user choice and do not prevent use of closed, proprietary drivers, we also recognize that these drivers sometimes conflict with and cause problems in the software written by FOSS community members. We prefer to honor the commitment of the FOSS community with our own commitment to free drivers that complement their work, and work in the upstream Nouveau community to make these drivers better.
