== What is the Beta Release? ==
The Beta release is the last important milestone of Fedora 17. Only
critical bug fixes will be pushed as updates leading to the general
release of Fedora 17 in May. We invite you to join us in making
Fedora 17 a solid release by downloading, testing, and providing your
valuable feedback.
Of course, this is a beta release, meaning that some problems may
still be lurking. A list of the problems we already know about is
found at the Common F17 bugs page, seen here:

== Features ==
This release of Fedora includes a variety of features both over and
under the hood that show off the power and flexibility of the
advancing state of free software. Here are just a few of the new
features:
On the desktop: GNOME 3.4 introduces many user experience
improvements, including new search capabilities in the activities
overview, improved themes, and enhancements to the Documents and
Contacts applications. A new application, GNOME-boxes, provides easy
access to virtual machines. Additionally, GIMP 2.8, the newest
version of the GNU Image Manipulation Program, brings new
improvements such as single-window mode, layer groups, and on-canvas
editing.
For developers: You never sausage a great array of development tools!
Fedora 17 includes a pre-release of Juno, the release of the Eclipse
SDK expected in June 2012. Java 7 (and OpenJDK 7) is the default
Java runtime and Java build toolset, and GCC 4.7.x is now the primary
compiler in Fedora. Other language refreshes include shipping Ruby
1.9.3, the latest stable version of the Ruby language, PHP 5.4, the
latest PHP stack, and Erlang has also been updated to the R15 release.
Under the hood, and in the cloud: The Cluster stack in Fedora
includes numerous and significant updates for both high availability
and load-balancing applications. Fedora 17 utilizes Linux kernel
3.3, with improved btrfs and ext4 filesystems, GMA (poulsbo) graphics
and Broadcom wireless chipset support, and numerous other bug fixes
and enhancements. Firewalld is now the default firewall solution in
Fedora, providing dynamic firewall configuration capabilities.
Finally, OpenStack, a collection of services that can be used to set
up and run cloud compute and storage infrastructure, has been updated
to the latest release, 2012.1 (Essex).
And that's only the beginning. A more complete list and details of
all the new features in Fedora 17 is available here:
