= Notable changes for desktop users
[[pantheon-removal]]
== Pantheon Desktop Environment has been removed from Fedora
Due to massive changes in the core technology stack of GNOME 43 (i.e. the switch to libsoup-3.0, webkit2gtk-4.1, geoclue-glib-2.0, rest-1, gcr-4), the Pantheon Desktop Environment and various elementary applications, which do not yet support the latest versions of these libraries, will no longer be supported or available as of Fedora 37.

[[sect-i18n]]
= Internationalization
[[ibus]]
== IBus 1.5.27
* `ibus restart` subcommand is enhanced for the GNOME desktop session. Previously `ibus restart` subcommand failed to restart ibus-daemon but now its also connected to systemd by default. The other options can be shown with `ibus restart --help` subcommand.
* `ibus im-module` subcommand is added newly to get an internal gtk-im-module value from an instance of an GTK instance and this subcommand would be useful in case that users install IBus input method framework by manual and they check if IBus is installed properly.
* IBus Emoji shortcut key is now reverted to kbd:[🪟+.](Super+Period).
* IBus theme of the candidate window can be customized with ibus-setup utility in non-GNOME desktop sessions. IBus theme has inherited the GTK themes in the desktop session by default and this is useful for other desktop sessions likes KDE.
== ibus-libpinyin 1.13
The ibus-libpinyin package will make English input and Table input in the "Intelligent Pinyin" input method easier.
[[gettext-runtime]]
== Gettext Runtime Subpackage
Two subpackages gettext-runtime and gettext-envsubst have been added to gettext to separate out the programs needed at runtime, reducing the default install footprint.
[[enhanced-persian-fonts]]
== Enhanced Persian font support
In previous Fedora releases, the Persian (fa) locale used multiple different fonts such as DejaVu and Noto Sans Arabic for various programs, leading to an inconsistent and suboptimal experience. Fedora 37 adds the `vazirmatn-vf-fonts` package containing the Vazirmatn font, which is now used by default everywhere, providing improved user experience to those who use the `fa` locale.
[[firefox-langpacks]]
== Firefox now has a langpacks subpackage
Firefox's langpacks are now installed in a separate recommended subpackage for greater flexibility. This enhances Fedora's modularity and allows you to install Firefox without support for all available languages if not needed.

[[mumble-1-4]]
== Mumble 1.4
Mumble is a popular voice chat application. It is commonly used for gaming and podcasts.
This update brings for example the following changes:
* Enable the native PipeWire audio backend
* Rename the Mumble server package from `murmur` to `mumble-server`
* Relocate the Mumble server configuration file from `/etc/murmur/murmur.ini` to `/etc/murmur.ini`
* Introduce a new, general purpose plugin framework
* Substitute a sub-optimal free-type search for a fully featured search dialog
* Support markdown markup language for text messages in the chat bar

All LLVM sub-projects in Fedora have been updated to version 15, and there has been be a soname version change for the LLVM libraries. Compatibility packages `clang14` and `llvm14` are available to ensure that packages that currently depend on CLang and LLVM version 14 libraries will continue to work.

[[sect-python]]
= Python
== Python 3.11
Fedora 37 provides the Python stack in version 3.11, up from version 3.10 in the previous release. Notable changes include:
* Exception Groups and `except*`
* Enhanced error locations in tracebacks
* Support for parsing TOML in the standard library
* A massive speed improvement compared to Python 3.10
Typing features:
* Variadic generics
* Marking individual `TypedDict` items as required or potentially-missing
* Self type
* Arbitrary literal string type
* Dataclass transforms
For a full list of changes, see the link:https://docs.python.org/3.11/whatsnew/3.11.html[What's New In Python 3.11] upstream document. Also see link:https://docs.python.org/3.11/whatsnew/3.11.html#porting-to-python-3-11[Porting to Python 3.11] if you have Python programs running on an older version.
[[default-shebangs]]
== Add -P to default shebangs
All Python 3 shebang RPM macros in Fedora 37 have been changed to contain one more flag: `-P`. Previously, they contained `-s`, now they contain `-sP`. The `-P` flag was introduced in Python 3.11.
The new flag stops Python from prepending a potentially unsafe path to `sys.path`. This causes Python programs in `/usr/bin` to be less fragile towards random files present in the same directory, making debugging certain types of issues easier and enhancing security.
The following RPM macros are affected by this change:
* `%{py3_shbang_opts}`
* `%{py3_shbang_opts_nodash}`
* `%{py3_shebang_flags}`
* `%{py_shbang_opts}`
* `%{py_shbang_opts_nodash}`
* `%{py_shebang_flags}`
For a detailed explanation of what this change means, a list of affected packages, and information on how to opt out of this change (or explicitly opt in) if needed, see the link:https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/PythonSafePath#Detailed_Description[Fedora Wiki].

[[raspberry-pi-4]]
== Official support for Raspberry Pi 4
This Fedora update brings support for Raspberry Pi 4, including 4B, the 400 unit, and the Compute Module (CM) 4 IO Board. All the mentioned models support also accelerated graphics using the V3D GPU for both OpenGL-ES and Vulkan.
Some minor caveats include:
* Support for WiFi on the Raspberry Pi 400 is out of scope of this change.
* We tested CM 4 and will support on the official IO board. Other devices that incorporate CM 4 should work correctly provided the vendor has their support in the upstream Raspberry Pi firmware/overlays.
* The hardware based media decoding (H264/HVEC, and others) are out of scope for this change.
[[retire-armv7]]
== ARMv7 architecture is no longer supported
Fedora 37 drops support for older ARM devices using the ARMv7 (also known as arm32 or armhfp) architecture. Such devices running older Fedora releases will not be able to upgrade, and will not be able to do a fresh Fedora 37 installation.
[[server-kvm-image]]
== Fedora Server Edition available as KVM virtual machine disk image
Fedora Server provides now a virtual disk image to greatly facilitate installation of Fedora Server VMs. It allows an immediate installation by either Cockpit administration WEB UI or one of the CLI tools.
The image is optimized for KVM and aims to resemble a default server installation as closely as possible. All administrative tools are available reliably from the beginning, all administrative routines and helps (scripts) can be used in the same way. All application services work the same as in the standard installation.
The server documentation link:https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/virtualization/vm-install-diskimg-fedoraserver/[Creating a virtual machine using Fedora Server Edition disk image] provides detailed information on installing and using the disk image.
[[eln]]
== ELN Extras
The ELN project will now run "ELN-Extras", a new build target and compose similar to ELN in behavior, but closer in function to EPEL. It will be a place to prepare and maintain packages that may be desired for EPEL N+1 while RHEL N+1 is still being incubated in ELN. This will enable application developers to keep up with impending changes in RHEL even before CentOS Stream becomes available for that release. Additionally, it provides a bootstrapping mechanism for EPEL, which will mean a much shorter gap between the launch of a new RHEL major release and the availability of the EPEL repositories.
See the link:https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/eln/[Fedora ELN Project] documentation for more information about the project, including link:https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/eln/extras/[Extras].
[[pantheon-removal]]
== Pantheon Desktop Environment has been removed from Fedora

== Fedora Cloud Base is now a Fedora Edition
Fedora Cloud Base has been promoted to official status as a Fedora Edition. Cloud Base images can now be downloaded from link:https://alt.fedoraproject.org/cloud/[Get Fedora].
[[coreos-edition]]
== Fedora CoreOS is now a Fedora Edition
Fedora CoreOS has been promoted to official status as a Fedora Edition. CoreOS images can now be downloaded from link:https://getfedora.org/en/coreos?stream=stable[Get Fedora].

== Anaconda changes
== Anaconda and related components
This section covers changes in the [application]*Anaconda* installer, including changes in the graphical and text mode interactive installers, Kickstart, and installer boot options.
Release notes for the Fedora installer, Anaconda, as well as related topics, are now being maintained upstream. See the project's link:https://anaconda-installer--4379.org.readthedocs.build/en/4379/release-notes.html#fedora-37[ReadTheDocs] documentation for a full list of installer-related changes in Fedora 37.

=== General changes
[[boot-iso-grub2]]
== boot.iso now uses GRUB2 on BIOS systems
[[sect-installation-kickstart]]
=== Kickstart changes
In previous Fedora releases, the minimal installer image (`boot.iso`) used the syslinux bootloader when booting on systems using BIOS firmware, while on UEFI systems GRUB2 is used. However, the syslinux project is no longer being developed upstream. Therefore, starting with Fedora 37, `boot.iso` images will use GRUB2 on both BIOS and UEFI-based systems.

== BIND 9
Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) software suite was updated to version 9.18.x. This version brings the following notable changes, for example:
* Support for DNS over TLS and DNS over HTTPS servers. Both authoritative and resolver modes.
* Re-work of internal connection handling using the `libuv` library.
* Remote Name Daemon Control (RNDC) channel does not support Unix sockets.
* Support for incoming and outgoing DNS zone transfer over TLS.
* Domain Information Groper (dig) utility can send queries using DNS over TLS and DNS over HTTPS.
[NOTE]
====
The `bind-dyndb-ldap` dynamic LDAP back-end was upgraded to version 11.10 to support support BIND 9.18. The back-end will be built together with the `bind` package.
====
You can see the full list of changes in the https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/v9_18_4/notes.html#notes-for-bind-9-18-0[upstream release notes].
== Fallback hostname set to `localhost` on server-based editions
For the Cloud, CoreOS, IoT, and Server editions of Fedora, the fallback hostname has been changed to `localhost`. The fallback hostname is the hostname that is set if the hostname cannot be determined by any other mechanism (statically set, DHCP, or reverse DNS). This change was made in order to conform to the common expectation that a hostname of `localhost` on a system means the hostname is "unset".

= Changes for ostree based variants of Fedora
This page regroups changes that only apply to ostree/rpm-ostree based variants of Fedora, such as Fedora CoreOS, Fedora IoT, Fedora Silverblue and Fedora Kinoite.
[[fedora-coreos-major-changes]]
== Fedora CoreOS major changes
Major changes for Fedora CoreOS are list in the https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/major-changes/[Major Changes page] in the https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/[Fedora CoreOS documentation].
[[readonly-sysroot-ostree-desktopsl]]
== `/sysroot` mounted read only
On rpm-ostree based systems, the real root (the root directory of the root partition on the disk) is mounted under the `/sysroot` path.
By default it contains the state of the system (the content of `/var` and `/etc`) as well as the system versions themselves (each versioned copy of `/usr`) in the ostree repository (`/ostree/repo`).
Users and administrators are not expected to directly interact with the content available there and should instead use the interface offered by rpm-ostree, GNOME Software or soon Plasma Discover to manage their system.
Thus `/sysroot` is now mounted read only starting with this release.
New installations of all three variants will have `/sysroot` read only by default.
Existing installations of Fedora Silverblue and Fedora Kinoite will be migrated on the first boot to Fedora 37 and will have `/sysroot` read only on the next boot.
Fedora CoreOS has already made this change in a previous release (https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/1232[fedora-coreos-tracker#1232]).
See the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Silverblue_Kinoite_readonly_sysroot[Fedora change page] for more details.

[[fido-onboarding]]
== Fedora IoT supports FIDO device onboarding
The ability for an IoT or Edge device to be plugged in and automatically onboard itself with zero user interaction is critical for scaling. To do this in a secure way with open standards is even more critical. Therefore, the FIDO IoT working group has collaborated with leaders in the silicon industry to produce the FIDO Device Onboarding specification.
With this update, Fedora IoT provides the FIDO Device Onboarding software stack for Zero Touch Onboarding.
The aim is to demonstrate the use of the leading edge open industry protocols for onboarding IoT and Edge devices.

[[preset-all-systemd-units-on-first-boot]]
== Preset all systemd units on first boot
On a Fedora system you booted from an image without the fully populated `/etc/` directory (https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/machine-id.html#First%20Boot%20Semantics[First Boot]), `systemd` will execute an equivalent of the `systemctl preset-all` command. As a result, units will be enabled or disabled according to the preset configuration.
[NOTE]
====
The `systemd` service manager will disable any units, to which you manually created symbolic links against the preset rules.
====
You can use the `systemctl preset-all` command at any time to apply the preset configuration. If you did not make any prior local changes to the configuration, the command would make no changes to unit state. If you enabled or disabled some units, the command would return unit enablement to the after-installation pristine state.
