Fedora 7

Fedora 7 will be the next release of Fedora. It is highlighted by the elimination of the distinction between Fedora Core and Fedora Extras entirely; there is only Fedora.

The name of the release is Fedora 7, unlike previous ones which featured 'Core' in their names (e.g. Fedora Core 6).

Glossary

Development freeze:: The package set is frozen. Only packages that fix significant issues found in testing are added to the tree.

Feature freeze:: All features must be complete in a testable state. Anything that's not will either be dropped or reverted.

String freeze:: Translatable Fedora-specific strings and user-interfaces should be frozen, to give the translators time to finish their work. No new strings should be added without notifying the L10N team.

Translation freeze:: Translations made until this date are guaranteed to get in the release. Translations after this may or may not make it in the release.

Release:: Availability for download.
