It's time for the first test release in the Fedora Core 4 development cycle.

FC4test1 is available for i386, x86_64, and (for the first time) PPC/PPC64!

You can download it via BitTorrent from http://torrent.linux.duke.edu/ (recommended) or via HTTP/FTP from http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/3.90/ or any of the fine Fedora mirrors listed at http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html

Notable features of FC4test1 include:

  • gcc 4.0 as the primary system compiler
  • GNOME 2.10.0 Beta 2 included
  • The Eclipse IDE included along with some featured plugins
  • A solid foundation of Java packages for developers (ant, gcj, tomcat, struts, more classpath stuff) Lots of package updates
  • Started movement of packages to Fedora Extras
  • Did I mention PowerPC support?

That said, this IS a test release, and I guarantee that there will be bugs that will be annoying. Your help is needed to find and report those bugs in bugzilla (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/). Please also try updating packages from the development tree, to see if the bugs are already fixed there.

Questions? Comments? Rotten tomatoes? Send them my way!
