iBus has undergone further development and improvements, such as:

** Users' ibus input method engines always run when they log into GNOME desktop so that they switch the engines quickly without waiting for the engine launching time.
** ibus input method engines now are hidden on the lock screen in GNOME desktop.
** ibus implements a special panel icon for KDE5 since KDE5 no longer enable GtkStatusIcon by default.

IPA fonts have been added to provide good quality fonts with cover of JIS2004. Installation of ipa-gothic-fonts, ipa-pgothic-fonts, ipa-mincho-fonts and ipa-pmincho-fonts packages is recommended to get JIS2004 features on Fedora.

General Configuration

System locale and keyboard layout settings are configured using the localectl utility. Read man localectl for instructions on adjusting the system locale.

Input Methods

  • ibus
    • ibus panel icon now shows the prefix of language names instead of layout names in non-GNOME desktop.
    • Users' ibus input method engines always run when they log into GNOME desktop so that they switch the engines quickly without waiting for the engine launching time.
    • ibus input method engines now are hidden on the lock screen in GNOME desktop.
    • ibus implements a special panel icon for KDE5 since KDE5 no longer enable GtkStatusIcon by default.

ibus panel icon for KDE5
ibus checks XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP variable to show GtkStatusIcon or KDE5 icon so if you don't use login managers likes gdm but run startkde directly, you need to set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP by manual.
  • Minglish, a new Marathi language m17n input method is added.

Fonts

  • New Fonts
    • google-noto-sans-oriya-fonts, google-noto-sans-oriya-ui-fonts

Others

  • gnome-characters - Characters is a simple utility application to find and insert unusual characters.
  • New Locales
    • bh_IN (Bhili language locale for India ), ce_RU (Chechen locale for RUSSIAN FEDERATION), raj_IN (Rajasthani locale for India) and tu_IN (Tulu locale for India)
