For administrators

Improvements that make system administrators' lives better.


ipmiutil feature

Feature talking point.

Feature summarized talking point.


Systemd feature

It allows to defer the start of daemons until the deamon is needed for accepting an incomming network connection. It is also able to manage file system tasks. Using control groups (a Linux feature) it allows to handle all processes related to a particular feature together. In the future it will also act as session manager. It will speed up boot, but more work is needed to reap the full benefits.

No manual ordering of features is needed, the kernel does the ordering automatically.

On-demand starting of services and activation of features.

Memory Debugging Tools

Memory Debugging Tools feature

Feature talking point.

Feature summarized talking point.

Python 2.7

Python 2.7 feature

Python 2.7 is the last of the Python 2.x releases, and introduces many new features that are present in Python 3 to allow Python developers an easier migration to the new Python 3 stack. Many modules are now feature complete with their Python 3.1 equivalents, and are also much more efficient. For example, the IO class can now be up to 20 times faster in some operations since it has been rewritten. New debugging objects like memoryview can help speed development by giving you an "inside view" of your code.

The last of the Python 2 releases gives developers an easier migration path to Python 3.

Rakudo Star

Rakudo Star feature


The first production release of the Perl 6 language.
