Aside from the usual (bug fixes, updated packages)
[Not a complete list, just what I remember from the top of my head]:
- Support for Docbook-based SGML editing and processing has been
added.
- The various BSD-based network services (telnet, finger, talk,
rsh, ruers, rwall, tftp) have been split into client and
server packages.
- The ident/auth service, instead of being run from inetd
and controlled via /etc/inetd.conf, is run as a standalone
service 'identd', and controlled via the /etc/identd.conf file.
- The following services no longer run by default, as they have
in previous Red Hat Linux releases:
- automount daemon amd (package am-utils)
- bind name server
- dhcpd DHCP server
- inn news server
- knfsd NFS server
- samba CIFS server
- apache HTTP server
- New packages (a couple of new packages in the main distribution, tons
of new packages in powertools)
- man pages gziped
- better default settings (you can now do less file.gz; ls colorization
enabled; when invoked as vim (not vi), vim has colorization and auto-
indenting; ...)
