WORLDTECHFedora 45 Sets November 3 Release Date After Repeated Delays
Fedora Linux 45 now has an official release date of November 3, after the distribution was delayed twice. According to the public minutes of a recent developer meeting, the decision follows a no-go call last week caused by blocker bugs.
Release date confirmed at developer meeting
The date was settled at a recent developer meeting, and the decision is recorded in the public meeting minutes, as reported by TechPowerUp. The release had already slipped twice, and the most recent postponement came when blocker bugs prompted the development team to make a no-go decision only last week.
The new schedule places the November 3 release after that setback, giving the team time to resolve the issues that held back the earlier target.
Modest update with several notable changes
Fedora 45 is a fairly modest update from Fedora 44. Its most visible changes include an update to Gnome 51 and support for new Qualcomm Snapdragon X Series laptops. The release also brings in the new DRM Panic front-end.
The KDE editions will fully adopt the KDE Plasma Login Manager and will offer a unified KDE out-of-the-box experience, according to the same report.
Where to find the full list of changes
The complete run-down of new features and changes is set out in the Fedora 45 beta changelogs, which readers can consult for the detailed list beyond the highlights above.
