Can't wait for a taste? You can get started downloading now:

Detailed information about this release can be seen in the release notes:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/Release_Notes/
== What's New in Fedora 18? ==
The Fedora Project takes great pride in being able to show off features for all
types of use cases, including traditional desktop users, systems
administration, development, the cloud, and many more. But a few new features
are guaranteed to be seen by nearly anyone installing Fedora and are
improvements that deserve to be called out on their own.
The user interface for Fedora's installation software, Anaconda, has been
completely re-written from the ground up. Making its debut in Fedora 18, the
new UI introduces major improvements to the installation experience. It uses a
hub-and-spoke model that makes installation easier for new users, offering them
concise explanations about their choices. Advanced users and system
administrators are of course still able to take advantage of more complex
options. The general look and feel of the installation experience has been
vastly upgraded, providing modern, clean, and comprehensible visuals during the
process. While the new installer should work well for most users in most
configurations, there are inevitably a few teething problems in the first
release of such a major revision.
Known design limitations of the new installer in F18 are listed here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/NewInstaller
Known significant bugs can be seen here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F18_bugs#Installation_issues
We welcome your constructive and specific feedback as we continue to work on
refining the installer for future releases.
The upgrade process for Fedora now uses a new tool called FedUp (Fedora
Upgrader). FedUp replaces pre-upgrade as well as the DVD methods for upgrading
that have been used in previous Fedora releases. FedUp integrates with systemd
to enable the upgrade functionality, doing the work in a pristine boot
environment.
Of course, it wouldn't be a release announcement without a spotted -- er,
dotted -- list of all the other fantastic features you'll see in Fedora 18:
=== For desktop users ===
Mve over, stale desktops. We've got a small herd of choices udderly suited
to your preferences.
* GNOME 3.6: The newest version of the GNOME desktop provides an enhanced
Messaging Tray, support for Microsoft Exchange and Skydrive, and many more new
features.
* Cinnamon: Fedora users now have the option of using Cinnamon, an advanced
desktop environment based on GNOME 3. Cinnamon takes advantage of advanced
features provided by the GNOME backend while providing users with a more
traditional desktop experience.
* MATE Desktop: The MATE desktop provides users with a classic GNOME 2.x style
user interface. This desktop is perfect for users who have been running GNOME
Classic or other window managers like XFCE as an alternative to GNOME 3.
* KDE Plasma Workspaces 4.9: KDE Plasma Workspaces has been updated with many
new features and improved stability and performance, including updates to the
Dolphin File Manager, Konsole, and KWin Window manager.
* Xfce 4.10: The lightweight and easy-to-use Xfce desktop has been updated to
the 4.10 version with many bug fixes and enhancements, including a new MIME
type editor, a reworked xfce4-run dialog, improved mouse settings, tabs in the
Thunar file manager, and options to tile windows in xfwm4. Through all of these
and more, Xfce continues to improve without getting in your way.
Regardless of your desktop choice, Fedora 18 offers...
* Improved storage management: SSM (System Storage Manager) is an easy-to-use
command-line interface tool that presents a unified view of storage management
tools. Devices, storage pools, volumes, and snapshots can now be managed with
one tool, with the same syntax for managing all of your storage. (It's great
for systems administrators, too!)
=== For developers ===
For developers there are all sorts of moo-tivating goodies:
* Fresh versions of programming languages: Using Perl, Rails, or Python? All
three of these languages are updated in Fedora 18. We've got Rails 3.2, Python
3.3, and Perl 5.16 fresh off the farm.
* Clojure gets more love with the addit

[Test-Announce] Announcing the release of Fedora 18 Beta!!!
The Fedora 18 "Spherical Cow" Beta release is rolling! This release offers a preview of some of the best free and open source technology currently under development. We are delighted to announce the availability of the beta release of Fedora 18. Want to get a taste of the future? Download it now: http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease *** What is the Beta Release? *** The Beta release is the last important milestone of Fedora 18. Only critical bug fixes will be pushed as updates leading to the general release of Fedora 18 in the beginning of the next year. We invite you to join us in making Fedora 18 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 F18 bugs page, seen here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F18_bugs There is a new upgrade system for Fedora 18 making its first appearance in Fedora 18 Beta. Upgrading via the system installer or the preupgrade tool is no longer possible. To upgrade to Fedora 18 from Fedora 17, you should use the new "Fedup" tool. Instructions and information on the new tool are here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp. The tool is still under active development, please take a look at the FedUp FAQ (in the wiki page) in case of any issues with the upgrade process, and back up your system before trying the upgrade. *** 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: = For users everywhere = * Fedora 18 offers a brand-new version of the Gnome desktop, version 3.6, straight from the upstream development process. Updates have also been made to the KDE Plasma Workspaces, XFCE and Sugar]desktop environments; additionally, the MATE desktop is available for the first time in Fedora. * Fedora's new installer user interface enhances the anaconda installer with improvements in ease of use and installation. = For developers = * This release includes several language updates, including the move to Perl 5.16, updating the Python 3 stack from 3.2 to 3.3, Rails 3.2 and updated D and Haskell programming environments. = For system administrators = * Fedora 18 includes the final release of Samba 4, and can be used on an Active Directory domain member out of the box. An integrated, new native management software allows you to access data and server information easily. * OpenStack in Fedora 18 has been updated to Folsom, the most recent release by the OpenStack community. This Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform enables the creation and management of cloud infrastructure. * Eucalyptus 3.1, another IaaS platform, is available in Fedora for the first time, and includes the major components of Eucalyptus. * System Storage Management CLI tools simplify the user interface by providing unified abstraction and interface for multiple storage technologies, including lvm, btrfs and md raid. For more Features, please take a look on the complete list: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/18/FeatureList *** Contributing *** Great releases like Fedora 18 don't get made in a vacuum.

[Test-Announce] Announcing the release of Fedora 18 Alpha!!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The Fedora 18 "Spherical Cow" Alpha release is plumping up! This release offers a preview of some of the best free and open source technology currently under development. Model a glimpse of the future: http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease Already mooo-tivated to give F18 Alpha a try? Great! We still hope that you'll read onwards; there are fabulous features in this release you may want to know about, as well as important information regarding specific, common F18 Alpha installation issues and bugs, all of which are detailed in this release announcement. *** What is the Alpha Release? *** Fedora 18 adds many new and improved features for a variety of audiences. A small sample is included below; the full list of features for this release can be seen on the Fedora 18 Feature List, here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FeatureList = On the Desktop = * NetworkManager Hotspots improve the ability to use a computer's WiFi adapter to create a network hot spot. * The redesigned installation system adds flexibility to the installation process while simplifying the user interface. * Desktop updates galore: Gnome 3.6, KDE Plasma Workspace 4.9, Xfce 4.10, Sugar 0.98, and the introduction of the MATE Desktop in Fedora. = For sysadmins = * The Riak NoSQL database, a fault-tolerant and scalable database system, is included for the first time in Fedora 18. * Samba 4 adds SMB3 support and support for FreeIPA trusted domains. * Offline system updates adds support for installing OS packages at boot. This gives systems administrators the ability to upgrade important libraries in a controlled manner. * Fedora 18 will be able to easily join an Active Directory domain or FreeIPA realm. = For developers = * The Python 3 stack is upgraded to version 3.3. * Rails is upgraded from version 3.0 to version 3.2. * Perl 5.16 adds Unicode 6.1 support. * Power7 optimized ppc64p7 is added as a supported platform for Fedora 18 packages. = Cloud and Virtualization = * OpenShift Origin brings Platform as a Service (PaaS) infrastructure to Fedora. * Eucalyptus gives Fedora the ability to support private, AWS-compatible Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) clouds. * Fedora 18 Alpha's OpenStack packages are synchronized with "Folsom," the OpenStack release due near the end of September. * Heat provides an API for orchestration of cloud applications using file- or web-based templates, enabling a standardized method for OpenStack users to launch applications in an OpenStack cloud. It is currently an OpenStack related project. * Virt Live Snapshots adds the ability to perform snapshots of QEMU and libvirt virtual machines without having to stop the guest. * The oVirt Engine is upgraded to version 3.1 and adds GUI tools. *** Known Issues and Bugs *** We know that many of you are moo-tivated to download and try the Alpha release of "Spherical Cow"; to help you avoid stepping into any sticky issues, we'd like to highlight a few specific issues, before you mve on to the downloads page. Information about these, and other common bugs, including bug reports and workarounds for known issues where available, are detailed on the Common F18 Bugs page, as well as in the Alpha release notes; links to both pages are provided below. * Utilizing automatic partitioning during installation will reformat all selected disks on which to install without any further warning; ALL EXISTING DATA ON THE DISKS WILL BE LOST. At this time, there is no option presented to use free space on the disks, or to resize existing partitions. A workaround solution exists. * Some NVIDIA graphics adapters will have problems with the start or display of the login manager or the desktop. This will prevent the user from reaching a usable desktop, when booting the live image or an installed system. In these cases, the login manager and/or desktop may fail to appear at all, or may appear but with the cursor missing, and/or visual corruption issues. * This release features a new user interface for the anaconda installer, which will significantly enhance the end-user installation experience. Known issues relating to the new installer user interface include: ** For non-graphical installations, a root password must be set to be able to login; for graphical installations, the first user should be set as an adminstrative user. This is currently the default setup during installation. ** There is no anaconda-based upgrade or preupgrade to F18 Alpha; if you must upgrade an installed system, you should use yum. ** The new installer user interface is still undergoing work; the Alpha release may not necessarily duplicate exactly the implementation seen in the Final release of Fedora 18 in November. For more information, including information about other common and known bugs, tips on how to report bugs, and the official release schedule,

[Test-Announce] Announcing the release of Fedora 18 Beta!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Look, up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's... the Beta release of Beefy Miracle! Flying 'round the world at the speed of the intertubes, delivering progress, mustard, and freedom to the masses. We are delighted to announce the availability of the Beta release of Fedora 17. Want to get a taste of the future? Download it now: http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease == 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F17_bugs == 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.
