Hi,

Not sure what the process is for updates to the release notes but a few
things worth highlighting:

Overview doesn't really highlight much and should atleast link to
talking points

Yum-presto is now enabled by default

Moblin can be installed with yum install @moblin-desktop

Displayport support for Intel hardware

Bluetooth PAN support in NetworkManager -

Mobile broadband improvements include showing signal strength for
cellular connections and network scanning for GSM

early r600 DRI available: install the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental package.

Not sure the RAID related changes in Anaconda has a direct impact but if
so a note should be added to
