Introduction to the five new functions of Fedora11

Article Title: Introduction to the five new functions of Fedora11. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

I found that you are more interested in these forward-looking things than expected ~ I often read this article, but I don't think it's too forward-looking to translate ...... Well, today we will start with the five new functions of ora 11!

DeviceKit

DeviceKit is a simple system service that can be used to implement the following three functions: 1) List devices; 2) send signals when devices are added or pulled out; 3) provides methods to combine device information with the device itself. It is designed to partially replace HAL to go beyond some of its design limitations.

In addition to DeviceKit itself, a system service named DeviceKit-disks is used to maintain contact with Block devices. DeviceKit-disks also has a graphical front-end palimpsest. There is also a DeviceKit-power to replace the power management in HAL.

In addition, there will be a nautilus extension that supports disk formatting.

Multiseat support (how to translate Multiseat is more appropriate? Please advise! Multiple heads ?)

The Multiseat system configuration is simplified so that two or more users can use their own keyboards, monitors, and mouse to work independently on one computer. This is different from Multi-Pointer X. The latter allows a user to use multiple X input devices at the same time, such as multiple mouse.

Differential Software Package Support (Presto)

The presto plug-in allows yum to download deltarpm (the differential RPM package contains only different parts than the existing software package) and generate a new software package. If this plug-in is provided by default, the volume of data downloaded during user updates will be significantly reduced.

Volume Control

This makes the volume control more intuitive and easy to use. Use libcanberra to centrally manage audio. 1) Change the volume control directly to the default output of PulseAudio. 2) display the status of Hot Plug-in devices such as Bluetooth headsets; 3) Basic Microphone check; 4) manage multiple audio streams based on certain rules (for example, play the music through the speaker and play the VoIP Phone over the headset); 5) convert the mixer applet to the audio status icon to avoid problems that may occur due to the applet.

Windows cross-platform Compilation

On the Fedora platform, you can compile and test full-featured Windows applications. The objective of the Mora MinGW Program is to reduce the effort spent by Windows application developers to migrate cross-platform library files from Linux to Windows. This will bring two benefits: first, developers do not have to deal with those private copyright compilation software on Windows platforms, and can directly use open-source compilers under Fedora, minimize the use of Windows. Second, in the long run, this will improve the overall level of open-source software on Windows. Because it is convenient to compile Windows programs on the Linux platform, developers who use Linux can also respond to error feedback as quickly as they do for programs in Linux, instead of wasting time on debugging the Windows compiler.
