Fedora 11 enhances its appearance for Desktop Users to be more convenient and in a faster easy time manner.
In addition, the following changes made since the Fedora 10 release, which have been backported to Fedora 10 updates, are also part of Fedora 11:
KDE has been upgraded from version 4.1.2 to 4.2.2.
qt and PyQt4 have been upgraded from 4.4 to 4.5.
The phonon library has been upgraded from 4.2 to 4.3.
A kdepim3 compatibility package, providing the KDE 3 version of libkcal, has been added to provide ICal support for taskjuggler again.
A new subpackage kdebase-workspace-googlegadgets provides support for Google Gadgets in Plasma.
The former package qgtkstyle is now part of qt.
The former package kde-plasma-lancelot is now part of kdeplasma-addons.
New system-config-printer-kde and kdeutils-printer-applet subpackages have been split out from kdeadmin and kdeutils, respectively.
The subpackages kdeartwork-extras and kdeartwork-icons of kdeartwork have been renamed to kdeartwork-screensavers and declassic-icon-theme, respectively, in order to better reflect their current contents.
The Akonadi framework is now used in several kdepim applications. Some changes have been made to accommodate it:
o The akonadi package now requires mysql-server so the default configuration works. The MySQL server does not have to be configured, as Akonadi starts up a per-user instance of mysqld with a default server configuration. It is also possible to set up Akonadi to use a manually-configured systemwide or remote MySQL server instance, however this is not the default.
o A kdepimlibs-akonadi subpackage has been split out from kdepimlibs because some libraries from kdepimlibs are also used in non-PIM applications. The split allows installing these applications without installing Akonadi and MySQL.
