Releases: Fedora Core 6 (zod) was released this week. So I baked a cake:
Kneel before the Zod cakeIt was a pretty awesome release. You can read the release announcement here.
I just thought I'd highlight three of my favorites features. First, compiz on aiglx works really well. Soeren made a valiant attempt at taming compiz by getting it to honor many of the metacity settings, as well as by providing a more traditional pager mode. He and Kristian also got X running with aiglx enabled by default, so starting a compositing manager doesn't require an X restart.
Secondly, X will now start without an Xorg.conf file. Adam has been working hard at making X autodetect hardware, and it can now do so on many setups correctly. There are times still when you will need that file, but it is bringing us closer to the day when you won't have to set up X at all.
Finally, if you want to play with Xen, Daniel did a really nice job on virt-manager. It looks slick.
