Fedora 17 will ship the 3.3 Linux kernel.  The only major change for
ext4 in 3.3 I've heard about is improved online resizing support:

In the 3.2 kernel shipped as an update to Fedora 16, ext4 gained
support for larger block sizes:

Other than that, I can find no other major changes in ext4 since F16
dropped.  HTH.
