Work on beats has now moved to git at https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/release-notes. If you have changes or additions, please contact the docs team via #fedora-docs, docs@lists.fedoraproject.org, or with the release-notes BZ component.

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 ==
+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.
-== IBus ==
+== Input Methods ==
-ibus now supports xkb layouts and switching and users can add xkb layouts in addition to input method engines in the ibus context menu.

-The ibus trigger shortcut, by default Control + Space, now toggles to the last previously used input method instead of switching on and off an ibus engine.
+* Minglish, a new Marathi language m17n input method is added.
-The new behaviour is similar to how MacOS and ChromiumOS behave with respect to input method switching.
-ibus can show the keymaps and input methods in the same layer. So we won't provide the IM engine off state in the new ibus structure.
-There is a configuration option in ibus-setup to switch back to the previous Control+Space behaviour for those who prefer it.
-However this may be removed in the future: feedback on the new default behaviour is welcome.
-Other trigger shortcut bindings specific to certain countries have been moved to the appropriate input method engine's configuration, and ibus provides Control+Space only by default now.
-E.g. Alt_R is now only for Hangul engines, and Zenkaku_Hankaku is available for the Japanese engines only.
-ibus-gnome3 can now provide the shell-themed icon, menu and IM lookup window instead of gtk-themed status icon. ibus-gnome3 also can show the text icon for each engine instead of image icon. Basically we'd think language ASCII prefixes (e.g. 'us', 'fr', 'de') for keymaps and multi-byte prefixes (e.g. '中', 'あ') for input methods.<br />
-ibus-gnome3 is provided by ibus side for Fedora 16 as the intermitted solution. Our goal is to integrate the same feature in gnome-shell upstream but the current target is the time frame of Fedora 17 due to the development cycle.<br />
-See also [[Features/GnomeInputIntegration]].
-ibus can now provides XIM feature in both GTK, QT and X11 applications. Currently the default XIM is the US mode and also cedilla mode only if the language is pt-br.
-ibus now allows engines to define XKB options.  For example, when a user enables Indic engines provided by ibus-m17n, Alt_R will be automatically mapped to AltGr.  Then the user switches to ibus-anthy, AltGr will be unmapped.
-eekboard on-screen keyboard can now be activated through IBus, in addition to desktop accessibility.  See [https://fedorahosted.org/eekboard/wiki/TabletGuide setup instruction for tablet PC].
-ibus-gucharmap provides new Unicode input method, which supports in-place character-map view, character search based on Unicode names, and easy navigation with various keyboard shortcuts.
-* ITB has Tamil support added.
-** Tamil typing booster is predictive text input method and supports Tamil-99 and Inscript layout.
 == Fonts ==
+* New Fonts
+** google-noto-sans-oriya-fonts, google-noto-sans-oriya-ui-fonts
-Fedora now includes font for Nastaleeq script,  one of the main script styles used in writing the Perso-Arabic script, and traditionally the predominant style in Persian calligraphy.
+== Others ==
+* gnome-characters -  Characters is a simple utility application to find and insert unusual characters.
-Improved Arabic script support for Urdu language by adding following new font packages.
+* 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)
-* nafees-naskh-fonts
-* nafees-nastaleeq-fonts
-* nafees-tehreer-naskh-fonts
