2011:
...
We
...
are
...
proud
...
to
...
announce
...
the
...
release
...
of
...
Fedora
...
3.5.
...
Although
...
a
...
minor
...
release,
...
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.
...
Please
...
let
...
us
...
have
...
your
...
comments
...
and
...
feedback
...
via
...
the
...
mailing
...
lists,
...
and
...
of
...
course
...
please
...
let
...
us
...
know
...
of
...
any
...
problems
...
you
...
discover.
...
Some
...
of
...
the
...
important
...
new
...
features
...
are:
...
- Spring-based
...
- configuration.
...
- Fedora
...
- has
...
- adopted
...
...
- as
...
- a
...
- means
...
- of
...
- configuring
...
- its
...
- internal
...
- components.
...
- This
...
- move
...
- to
...
- a
...
- modern,
...
- enterprise-grade
...
- framework
...
- offers
...
- greater
...
- flexibility
...
- for
...
- integrating
...
- repository
...
- components,
...
- and
...
- allows
...
- Fedora
...
- to
...
- more
...
- easily
...
- adapt
...
- to
...
- challenging
...
- deployment
...
- environments.
...
- See
...
- also
...
...
...
- in
...
- the
...
- documentation.
...
- Standard
...
- WAR
...
- file
...
- distribution.
...
- Fedora
...
- runtime
...
- configuration
...
- has
...
- moved
...
- entirely
...
- outside
...
- of
...
- the
...
- WAR
...
- file,
...
- allowing
...
- a
...
- single
...
- standardized
...
- war
...
- file
...
- to
...
- be
...
- included
...
- in
...
- each
...
- release.
...
- This
...
- allows
...
- bugfix
...
- releases
...
- to
...
- be
...
- distributed
...
- and
...
- applied
...
- in
...
- a
...
- much
...
- simpler
...
- fashion
...
- than
...
- before:
...
- merely
...
- replace
...
- the
...
- old
...
- WAR
...
- file
...
- with
...
- the
...
- updated
...
- one.
...
- FeSL
...
- policy
...
- enforcement
...
- improvements
...
- .
...
- Numerous
...
- enhancements
...
- have
...
- been
...
- made
...
- to
...
- FeSL
...
- authZ.
...
- Notably,
...
- the
...
- requirement
...
- of
...
- installing
...
dbxml
...
- has
...
- been
...
- removed.
...
- This
...
- had
...
- been
...
- a
...
- barrier
...
- to
...
- FeSL
...
- testing
...
- and
...
- adoption.
...
- With
...
- the
...
- various
...
- improvements
...
- in
...
- FeSL
...
- authZ,
...
- we
...
- consider
...
- this
...
- feature
...
- "beta"
...
- and
...
- encourage
...
- users
...
- of
...
- Fedora
...
- to
...
- give
...
- it
...
- a
...
- try
...
- and
...
- provide
...
- feedback.
...
FEDORA_HOME
...
- environment
...
- variable
...
- no
...
- longer
...
- required
...
- to
...
- run
...
- fedora
...
- server.
...
- Outside
...
- of
...
- running
...
- commandline
...
- utilities,
...
FEDORA_HOME
...
- is
...
- now
...
- ignored,
...
- and
...
- has
...
- been
...
- completely
...
- replaced
...
- with
...
- more
...
- flexible
...
- means
...
- of
...
- specifying
...
- the
...
- location
...
- of
...
- the
...
- fedora
...
- home
...
- directory.
...
- JSON
...
- support
...
- for
...
- RISearch
...
- Resource
...
- index
...
- searches
...
- now
...
- support
...
- JSON,
...
- allowing
...
- greater
...
- ease
...
- of
...
- use
...
- with
...
- javascript
...
- clients.
...
- DC
...
- datastream
...
- fixes
...
- .
...
- The
...
- DC
...
- datastream,
...
- with
...
- contains
...
- information
...
- needed
...
- for
...
- the
...
- internal
...
- functioning
...
- of
...
- Fedora,
...
- is
...
- now
...
- more
...
- robust.
...
- If
...
- a
...
- user
...
- inadvertently
...
- removes
...
- the
...
- necessary
...
dc:identifier
...
- fields,
...
- this
...
- will
...
- be
...
- automatically
...
- corrected.
...
- Build
...
- and
...
- testing
...
- improvements
...
- .
...
- Numerous
...
- testing
...
- and
...
- development
...
- improvements
...
- are
...
- part
...
- of
...
- 3.5.
...
- Perhaps
...
- most
...
- notably,
...
- deployment
...
- and
...
- running
...
- of
...
- a
...
- live
...
- Fedora
...
- instance
...
- can
...
- now
...
- be
...
- managed
...
- automatically
...
- as
...
- part
...
- of
...
- a
...
- standard
...
- maven
...
- build.
