+ Condor Cloud is an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud implementation. It allows you to create as many VMs from an image or images as you wish, distributing them across a pool of configured hosts. The user interface is the Deltacloud API (<ulink url="http://deltacloud.org).">http://deltacloud.org).</ulink> The backend is implemented using Condor (<ulink url="http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/)">http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/)</ulink> which in turn starts VMs using libvirt and KVM.

+
+ <para>
+ <package>Pacemaker-Cloud</package> provides high availability for application services inside virtual machines on a single node. This feature provides a shell for creating virtual machine images, associating resources with the virtual machines, and combining these images into a deployable. A deployable can then be launched and monitored for high availability. If virtual machines or applications fail, these components will be restarted reducing MTTR (mean time to repair) improving availability over manual operator restart.

+ Fedora guest virtual machines using <package>systemd</package> are currently non-functional until the following bugzilla is merged into rawhide: See <ulink url="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=702621"> systemd defect 702621</ulink> discussion.

<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.
+ ibus now supports X keyboard layouts and switching between them and/or input methods. X keyboard layouts can be added to the ibus context menu in addition to input method engines. This puts keyboard layouts and input methods on the same level for ibus users.
</para>
+
<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>
+ The ibus trigger shortcut, by default Control+Space, now toggles to the previously used input method instead of switching ibus on and off. The off-state is replaced by the default keyboard layout. The new behaviour is similar to how MacOS and ChromiumOS behave with respect to input method switching. There is a configuration option in ibus-setup to switch back to the previous Control+Space behaviour for those who prefer it. However this may be removed in the future: feedback on the new default behaviour is welcome.
+ </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>
- </literallayout> See also <ulink url="http://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Features/GnomeInputIntegration">Features/GnomeInputIntegration</ulink>.
+ Other trigger shortcut bindings specific to certain countries have been moved to the appropriate input method engine's configuration: only Control+Space is provided by default as a shortcut now. E.g. the Hangul key is now only defined for Korean engines, and Zenkaku_Hankaku is available only for Japanese engines only.
</para>
+
<para>
- ibus can now provides XIM feature in both GTK, QT and X11 applications. Currently the default XIM is the US mode and also cedilla mode only if the language is pt-br. </para>
+ The ibus-gnome3 gnome-shell extension provides a gnome-shell indicator icon with menu and input method candidate window instead of usual gtk versions. The indicator uses text symbols to show the current input method or keyboard layout of image icons. Keyboard layouts are displayed as letter country codes (e.g. 'us', 'fr', 'de', etc) and native characters (like '中', 'あ') are used for input methods. ibus-gnome3 is provided in a ibus subpackage as a technology preview for Fedora 16. The plan is to integrate it into gnome-shell itself in a future release upstream hopefully in time for Fedora 17. ibus-gnome3 can be enabled using the Shell Extensions in 'gnome-tweak-tool'. See also <ulink url="http://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Features/GnomeInputIntegration">Features/GnomeInputIntegration</ulink>.
+ </para>
+ <para>ibus has some support now for X compose keys (as provided by libX11 XIM) in a unified way for all GTK, QT and X11 applications. Currently support is available for US International mode (FIXME: check) and also cedilla mode if the desktop locale is Brazilian Portuguese. </para>
<para>
- ibus now allows engines to define XKB options. For example, when a user enables Indic engines provided by ibus-m17n, Alt_R will be automatically mapped to AltGr. Then the user switches to ibus-anthy, AltGr will be unmapped.
