Beat is open
This beat is now ready to have Fedora 25 content added by the beat writer

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)

+== General Configuration ==
-* <code>$HOME/.xinputrc</code> has been moved to <code>$HOME/.config/imsettings/xinputrc</code>.
+System locale and keyboard layout settings are configured using the <code>localectl</code> utility. Read <code>man localectl</code> for instructions on adjusting the system locale.
-* <code>$HOME/.imsettings.log</code> has been moved to <code>$HOME/.cache/imsettings/log</code>.
-* The default engine for Simplified Chinese has been changed to '''ibus-libpinyin''' (see [[Features/ibus-libpinyin]] for more details).
-* On the GNOME Desktop, '''im-chooser''' is now deprecated except in fallback mode, and with non-ibus input methods, since GNOME 3.6 supports ibus as the default input method system.  Users should now use gnome-control-center to setup their input methods:
-*# click on the user menu at the upper right corner of the panel.
-*# select ''System Settings'' from the menu
-*# click on the ''Region & Language'' icon
-*# open the ''Input Sources'' tab
-*# click on ''+'' icon to add input sources
-*# choose one or more input source you want to add
-* If you can't find an input source in the list you are looking for, try running the following command in a terminal and restart the desktop:
-*:<pre>gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources true</pre>
-* There may be no shortcut key to turn on/off the input method by default. you can enable it with the following steps:
-*# click the ''shortcut settings'' link in the ''Input Sources'' tab on ''System Settings'' or click the ''Keyboard'' icon at the top and the ''Shortcuts'' tab, the ''Typing'' section at the left pane.
-*# click on the ''Switch to next source'', press '''[Control]''' + '''[space]'''.
-* If no input source is configured by default for your native language, you can add it using the above steps as a workaround.  Here is a table of input sources corresponding to the input method engines:
-  {| border=1
-   |-
-   | ''Input source name''
-   | ''Input method engine''
-   |-
-   | Chinese (Chewing)
-   | ibus-chewing
-   |-
-   | Chinese (Intelligent Pinyin)
-   | ibus-libpinyin
-   |-
-   | Japanese (Anthy)
-   | ibus-anthy
-   |-
-   | Korean (Korean)
-   | ibus-hangul

-   | * (itrans (m17n))
-   | ibus-m17n
-   |-
-   | * (phonetic (m17n))
-   | ibus-m17n
-   |}
-*ibus-libpinyin provides a new input frontend for Simplified Chinese providing an intelligent pinyin input method that speeds up the user input of Chinese characters. It can replace ibus-pinyin which is also still available in Fedora.

-* '''ibus-typing-booster''' is a predictive input method for the ibus platform. It predicts complete words based on partial input. One can then simply select the desired word from a list of suggestions and improve one's typing speed and spelling. '''ibus-typing-booster''' currently supports the following Asian and European languages:
+* Minglish, a new Marathi language m17n input method is added.
-** Assamese, Bengali, Farsi, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Maithili, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu
-** English, Danish, French
-* If you want to use non-ibus input method such as fcitx and uim etc, remove '''ibus''' package from the system first and restart the desktop. '''im-chooser''' will gets back to work on even GNOME.
