Introduction The Fedora Release Notes details the major changes in the latest version of Fedora. The Fedora Technical Notes is a complete listing of changes between Fedora 17 and Fedora 18. In addition to showing the old and new versions of each package, a link to the upstream website is provided so the reader may investigate the changes in the new version. This document describes only the packages included in the release media. The Fedora Project provides detailed, up to date information on all packages in the repositories in a searchable database at https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/ The Fedora Technical Notes consists of a series of tables, one for each of the RPM groups making up Fedora. Similar applications are thus grouped together so the reader can easily identify the scope of changes in a particular context. 2 Amusements Depending on the reader's background, the reader may not imagine a particular package as belonging to some particular group. Depending on the package and the context, it may make sense for a particular package to appear in several groups. To aid the reader interested in a particular package, there is an alphabetical index of all changed packages at the end of this document. Changed Packages Only This document only shows changed packages. Packages that are not included in this document have not changed since the previous version of Fedora. 2. Amusements 2.1.
