===LVM Thin Provisioning support in Anaconda===
The Fedora installer now supports creating thinly provisioned LVM volumes in both the graphical interface and automated (kickstart) installations. This change includes a new automatic partitioning variant as well as new options to create thin volumes in custom partitioning.


===Rsyslog no longer part of the default installation===
The '''rsyslog''' logging service is no longer being installed by default. All logging is now being handled by the systemd journal. Users requiring the rsyslog service should install it manually.


To access the journald log, use the following command:
<pre>
journalctl
</pre>


For more information about the journal, see http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/the-journal.html.
===Sendmail no longer part of the default installation===
The '''sendmail''' mail transport agent is no longer a part of the default installation. Any packages previously using this program, such as <code>cron</code>, will now deliver their output into the system log by default. Sendmail remains available for manual installation for users who require it.
==Unversioned docdirs==
Per package documentation is now installed into unversioned /usr/share/doc/packagename directories. Previously the directory contained the package's version in addition to its name.
