Fedora 3.5 Release Notes
Release Date: August 18, 2010:
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 Spring 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 Spring Configuration 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 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
- JSON support for RISearch
