    Release Notes

    Not that much in the release notes have changed since Test2.

    According to diff:
    Kernel and e2fsprogs support for online growing of ext3 file systems.

    C++ and TCL bindings are no longer contained in the compat-db package.
    Applications requiring these bindings must be ported to the
    currently-shipping DB library.

    Fedora Core 2.92 Test 3 has switched from a static /dev/ directory to one
    that is dynamically managed via udev. This allows device nodes to be
    created on demand as drivers are loaded.

    Non-Fedora users complained about the last one, that such small updates (like test1->test2 or test2->test3) to a single distribution shouldn't be front page material.

    If you go into your preferences, you can make it appear on your front page.

    I use Fedora core 1 and 2 myself, but I don't recommend FC2 to anyone for a simple reason: it will erase your windows XP partition tables.


    To be precise, the problem was limited to FC2's boot/install kernel, and it only corrupted partition tables for folks not using LBA (and it was fixable, by the way). For the record, all subsequent kernels (including what FC3 uses) has the issue fixed.
