 = Changes in Fedora {PRODVER} For Desktop Users

+[[gnome-wayland-only]]
+== GNOME now uses Wayland only
+The GNOME X11 session has been removed from Fedora Linux. Users previously using GNOME on X11 will be transparently upgraded to the GNOME Wayland session. X11 applications are still supported on GNOME. 
+
+[[default-monospace-fonts]]
+== Set default fallback monospace font
+In previous Fedora releases, monospace fonts were implicitly substituted with sans-serif fonts by default configuration file in fontconfig if missing, which was the case for some languages.
+This could result in unpredictable behavior once additional font packages were installed.
+Fedora 43 fixes this by assigning a tentative default monospace font for languages that were previously missing it.
+
+If you were relying on old behavior, you can use `fonts-tweak-tool` to specify the default monospace font for a certain language.
+
+[[gdk-pixbuf-glycin]]
+== gdk-pixbuf2 now uses Glycin sandboxed image loading
+`gdk-pixbuf2` now depends on Glycin, the sandboxed image loading framework, which greatly improves security. 
+The intent is to provide the same user experience as before, but much has changed behind the scenes. 
+All built-in pixbuf loaders have been removed in favor of the Glycin pixbuf loader. 
+Most external pixbuf loaders are now obsolete, as Glycin supports the same image formats. 
+
+Accordingly, `avif-pixbuf-loader` from `libavif`, `heif-pixbuf-loader` from `libheif`, `jxl-pixbuf-loader` from `libjxl`,
+`rsvg-pixbuf-loader` from `librsvg`, and the standalone package `webp-pixbuf-loader` have all been removed from the distribution. 
+Additionally, `gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer` has been removed in favor of `glycin-thumbnailer`. `libvaif`, `libjxl`, and `librsvg` no longer provide thumbnailers, since they depend on `gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer`. 
+`libheif` still provides its own standalone thumbnailer, although it is redundant with the Glycin thumbnailer.
+
+[[colr-for-noto-color-emoji]]
+== Noto color emoji now use COLR
+Noto Color Emoji fonts in Fedora now use the link:++https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/colr++[COLRv1] format. The COLRv1 format is a color scalable font compared with the previous color bitmap fonts. 
+
+Users should not notice any changes except for a smaller file size.

+[[java]]
+== Java
+Release 43 makes `java-25-openjdk` available in Fedora, the latest LTS version released Sept. 2025.
+
+The `java-21-openjdk` is still available in F43 and will continue to be in F44. It will be removed in F45.
+
+In Fedora 43 both openjdk versions provide "java" equally. There is no "system" or "default" JDK anymore. Users can (and should) choose which version to use, and can mix and match Java versions for development and runtime. Several instances of a software, e.g. Tomcat, can execute with different Java versions. Conventionally, the most recent version will likely become the systemwide used default one, but there is no guarantee. Use `alternatives --config java` to select the version to be used systemwide by default.
+
+Upgrading from release 42 with installed java-21-openjdk, just updates Java 21 to release 43. The upgrade does not automatically update to Java 25. The administrator must install these separately.

+For more information about Java 25, see the link:++https://jdk.java.net/25/++[JDK 25 Features and Release notes].

+== Debuginfod IMA verification
+The `debuginfod` client tools used to auto-download debuginfo & source code into tools like `gdb` now cryptographically verify the integrity of the downloaded files from the Fedora debuginfod server. 
+This setting is appropriate for normal Fedora koji-signed release/update RPMs.

+== Confidential Virtualization Host for Intel TDX
+Fedora virtualization hosts running on suitably configured Intel Xeon hardware now have the ability to launch confidential virtual machines using the Intel TDX feature. 
+
+Fedora has provided support for launching confidential virtual machines using KVM on x86_64 hosts for several years, using the SEV and SEV-ES technologies available from AMD CPUs, and since Fedora 41, using the SEV-SNP technology. In the Fedora 42 release, support for the Intel SGX platform was introduced, and this change builds on that work to allow creation of Intel TDX guests on Fedora hosts. Intel TDX provides confidential virtualization functionality that is on a par with the recent AMD SEV-SNP support.
