Major package changes

man to man-db package exchange

The package man is substituted by package man-db which provides similar functionality:

man description: The man package includes three tools for finding information and/or documentation about your Linux system: man, apropos, and whatis. The man system formats and displays on-line manual pages about commands or functions on your system. Apropos searches the whatis database (containing short descriptions of system commands) for a string. Whatis searches its own database for a complete word.

man-db description : The man-db package includes five tools for browsing man-pages: man, whatis, apropos, manpath and lexgrog. man preformats and displays manual pages. whatis searches the manual page names. apropos searches the manual page names and descriptions. manpath determines search path for manual pages. lexgrog directly reads header information in manual pages.

KDE SC 4.5

This release features KDE 4.5.

KDE 4.5 is the latest release of KDE 4. There are a number of enhancements and new features.

The Fedora KDE Desktop User Guide is an important part of this feature for users. It guides users how-to use the new KDE 4 Desktop and it's targeted to both former KDE 3.5 user and first time KDE 4 users.

MeeGo

MeeGo Netbook UX 1.0 is available in Fedora 14.

The MeeGo™ Architecture is designed to support multiple platforms and usage models ranging from Netbooks and NetTops to Mobile Internet Devices (MID) and various embedded usage models, such as In Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems. MeeGo Netbook UX is built on the GNOME Mobile platform, extending and enriching it with new technologies like Clutter, GUPnP and libsocialweb. The MeeGo Netbook UX is the user environment that sits of top of Fedora and associated MeeGo core services. The netbook user interface and user interaction model for the target devices then is on top of that. The Fedora 14 implementation specifically targets the Netbook UX.
