+ <title>IBus</title>
+
+ <para>
+ ibus can now provide both keymaps and input methods in the context menu, as we call them as ibus engines, and the we redefine the trigger key, Control + Space, to toggle the previous ibus engine and the next one instead of switching on and of an ibus engine. The new Control + Space would give the similar structure with Macintosh and ibus can show the keymaps and input methods in the same layer not to distinguish them. So we won't provide the status of IM engine off in the new ibus structure.<literallayout>
+ </literallayout> We also provides a check button to switch back the previous Control Space on ibus-setup for Fedora 16 if you prefer. However we may remove the button in the future and like to gather the broad feedback.

- Fedora 15 has support for displaying and inputting the new
- official Indian Rupee Sign currency symbol (Unicode point
- U20B9).
+ <para>
+ ibus moves the almost trigger keys to each engine's configuration and provides Control + Space only now. E.g. Alt_R would be needed for the Hangul engines only, Zenkaku_hankaku would be needed for the Japanese engines only. </para>
+
+ <para>
+ ibus-gnome3 can now provide the shell-themed icon, menu and IM lookup window instead of gtk-themed status icon. ibus-gnome3 also can show the text icon for each engine instead of image icon. Basically we'd think language ASCII prefixes (e.g. 'us', 'fr', 'de') for keymaps and multi-byte prefixes (e.g. '中', 'あ') for input methods.<literallayout>
+ </literallayout> ibus-gnome3 is provided by ibus side for Fedora 16 as the intermitted solution. Our goal is to integrate the same feature in gnome-shell upstream but the current target is the time frame of Fedora 17 due to the development cycle.<literallayout>

- <para>
- Servers often have multiple Ethernet ports, either embedded on
- the motherboard, or on add-in PCI cards. Linux has
- traditionally named these ports <filename>ethX</filename>, but
- there has been no correlation of the <filename>ethX</filename>
- names to the chassis labels - the <filename>ethX</filename>
- names are non-deterministic. Starting in Fedora 15, Ethernet
- ports will have a new naming scheme corresponding to physical
- locations, rather than <filename>ethX</filename>. Ethernet
- ports embedded on server motherboards will be named
- <filename>em<port_number></filename>, while ports on PCI
- cards will be named
- <filename>p<slot_number>p<port_number></filename>,
- corresponding to the chassis labels. Additionally, if the
- network device is an SR-IOV Virtual Function or has Network
- Partitioning (NPAR) capability, the name will have a suffix of
- <filename>_<virtual_function></filename> or
- <filename>_<partition></filename>.
- </para>
- <para>
- By changing the naming convention, system administrators will no
- longer have to guess at the <filename>ethX</filename> to
- physical port mapping, or invoke workarounds on each system to
- rename them into some "sane" order.
- </para>
- <para>
- This feature affects all physical systems that expose network
- port naming information in SMBIOS 2.6 or later (specifically
- field types 9 and 41). Dell PowerEdge 10G and newer servers
- (PowerEdge 1950 III family, PowerEdge R710 family, and newer),
- and HP ProLiant G6 servers and newer are known to expose this
- information, as do some newer desktop models. Furthermore, most
- older systems expose some information in the PCI IRQ Routing
- Table, which will be consulted if information is not provided by
- SMBIOS.
- </para>
- <para>
- Fedora running as a guest virtual machine will continue to use
- the <filename>ethX</filename> names.
- </para>
- <para>
- Existing installations upgraded to Fedora 15 will not see a
- change in names unless
- <filename>/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules</filename>
- is deleted and the <command>HWADDR</command> lines are removed
- from all
- <filename>/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*</filename>
- files, and those files are renamed to use the new device names.

<para>
- You may continue to write rules in
- <filename>/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules</filename>
- to change the device names to anything you wish. Such will take
- precedence over this physical location naming scheme. Such
- rules may look like:
-<screen>
-SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", \
-ATTR{address}=="00:11:22:33:44:55", ATTR{type}=="1", \
-KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="public"
-</screen>
- </para>
- <para>
- This feature may be disabled by passing
- "<command>biosdevname=0</command>" on the kernel command line,
- in which case, behavior will revert to using
- <filename>ethX</filename> names.
+ New to Fedora 16 is <package>ckermit</package>, an updated implementation of the venerable Kermit file transfer program.
