Release Date: August 18, 2011:
We are proud to announce the release of Fedora 3.5. Although a minor rel= ease, this version includes a number of exciting new features and bug fixes= that make Fedora an ever more compelling repository platform.
You are encouraged to download this new release and give it a spin. Plea= se let us have your comments and feedback via the mailing lists, and of cou= rse please let us know of any problems you discover.
Some of the important new features are:
fedora.fcfg
is cons=
idered deprecated as of this release, due to time constraints some module c=
onfiguration has not yet been moved out of fedora.fcfg
and int=
o native spring xml. See also Spring Configuration in the documentation.dbxml
has been removed. This had been a barrier to FeSL testin=
g and adoption. With the various improvements in FeSL authZ, we consider th=
is feature "beta" and encourage users of Fedora to give it a try and provid=
e feedback.FEDORA_HOME
environment variable =
no longer required to run fedora server. Outside of running comman=
dline utilities, FEDORA_HOME
is now ignored, and has been comp=
letely replaced with more flexible means of specifying the location of the =
fedora home directory.dc:identifier
fields, this will be automatically corrected.Tomcat Compatibility
Tomcat 5.5 and earlier are no longer supported. This release has been ex= tensively tested with Tomcat 6.0.x, and is also known to work with Tomcat 7= .0.x
REST API
As part of ongoing cleanup efforts, REST API responses have been fixed s= o that they are now fully compliant with their declared schema. This means = that some responses might be slightly different when compared to those from= earlier releases. For more information, see the overarching issue in Jira
Tomcat memory leak detection
Starting with Tomcat 6.0.24 (the bundled version of Tomcat included in t= his release is 6.0.29), Tomcat logs messages to indicate potential memory l= eaks. You may notice a number of SEVERE messages logged when Tomcat is stop= ped as a consequence of this new Tomcat behavior. FC= REPO-969 has been logged to track these and address these where they li= e within Fedora code.
For a detailed list of features and bugfixes comprising this release see= the tables below.
Many thanks to all of those who contributed to this release. In particul= ar thanks go to the University of York who provided a significant contribut= ion by supporting the many FeSL-related issues.
