Thanks. I've added a section on new virt features, but also this: Changes to System Defaults For security and performance reasons, iptables rules are now longer applied by default to frames forwarded across linux kernel ethernet bridges. See bug #512206 for more details on the rationale behind this change. Historically, uids and gids 0-100 are reserved for specific system accounts and allocated via the uidgid file in the setup package. This space has now been exhausted and 0-200 is now reserved. This should not be an issue on most systems because dynamically allocated system accounts are usually allocated downwards from 499. See bug 515779 and bug #511957 for more details. Thanks. I'm not sure this is the right place for this stuff? Also, where do I put them to make sure they get into the final F12 release notes? The two things I ask myself before adding something to the Alpha or Beta release notes is a) is this feature high impact? b) can it cause regressions or does it require targeted testing? If either or both of it is true, then it is worth adding. We will generally carry over what is added to the alpha/beta one page release notes to the final one but if you want to do that yourself, do that in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Documentation_Beats Rahul -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

Make sure the major features are covered, import bugs and workarounds noted etc http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_12_Alpha_release_notes I'd actually prefer to keep bugs and workarounds noted in the Common Bugs page now, if that's OK with you. My plan since re-working the Common Bugs page for F11 has been to have the F12 page start with the Alpha release, and cover pre-release issues right up until the final release, then switch to covering final release issues. I'll try and put a bare-bones page framework up soon. Users won't necessarily click on another link usually just to read about bug reports and this has a higher chance of them not noticing. It is your decision however. On the other hand, as discussed in the docs list, we're trying to keep release notes pages short this release on the off-chance someone will actually read them :). My intention is really to have the Common Bugs page become an 'obvious' destination (one that people get used to looking at) in its own right, which is where I got to with the Errata page in Mandriva. So far the F11 Common Bugs page has been visited 57,000 times, so it's obviously getting around :). The F10 page has just over 40k hits, and obviously it's had a six month head start. So we're getting somewhere with that. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
