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 X keyboard layouts and switching between them and/or input methods.
+* ibus
-X keyboard layouts can be added to the ibus context menu in addition to input method engines.
+** ibus panel icon now shows the prefix of language names instead of layout names in non-GNOME desktop.
-This puts keyboard layouts and input methods on the same level for ibus users.
+** 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.

-The ibus trigger shortcut, by default Control+Space, now toggles to the previously used input method instead of switching ibus on and off.
+* Minglish, a new Marathi language m17n input method is added.
-The off-state is replaced by the default keyboard layout.
-The new behaviour is similar to how MacOS and ChromiumOS behave with respect to input method switching.
-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: only Control+Space is provided by default as a shortcut now.
-E.g. the Hangul key is now only defined for Korean engines, and Zenkaku_Hankaku is available only for Japanese engines only.
-The ibus-gnome3 gnome-shell extension provides a gnome-shell indicator icon with menu and input method candidate window instead of usual gtk versions.  The indicator uses text symbols to show the current input method or keyboard layout of image icons.  Keyboard layouts are displayed as letter country codes (e.g. 'us', 'fr', 'de', etc) and native characters (like '中', 'あ') are used for input methods.
-ibus-gnome3 is provided in a ibus subpackage as a technology preview for Fedora 16.  The plan is to integrate it into gnome-shell itself in a future release upstream hopefully in time for Fedora 17.  ibus-gnome3 can be enabled using the Shell Extensions in 'gnome-tweak-tool'.  See also [[Features/GnomeInputIntegration]].
-ibus has some support now for X compose keys (as provided by libX11 XIM) in a unified way for all GTK, QT and X11 applications.  Currently support is available for US International mode (FIXME: check) and also cedilla mode if the desktop locale is Brazilian Portuguese.
-ibus engines can now define XKB options.  For example, when a user enables Indic engines provided by ibus-m17n, Alt_R will be automatically mapped to AltGr; if the user then switches back to ibus-anthy, AltGr will be unmapped again.
-The 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 is a new input method engine providing Unicode input method, which supports in-place character-map view, character search based on Unicode names, and easy navigation with various keyboard shortcuts.
-Tamil support has been added to Indic Typing Booster predictive text input method and supports Tamil-99 and Inscript layouts.
 == 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.
+* New Fonts
+** google-noto-sans-oriya-fonts, google-noto-sans-oriya-ui-fonts
-Arabic script support for the Urdu language has been improved by adding following new font packages:
-nafees-naskh-fonts, nafees-nastaleeq-fonts, nafees-tehreer-naskh-fonts, nafees-riqa-fonts, and nafees-pakistani-naskh-fonts.
-The WQY Microhei font is now used by default for Chinese.  Chinese users requiring more fonts support can install them
+== Others ==
-by yum groupinstall of 'simplified-chinese-support' or 'traditional-chinese-support'.
+* 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)
