Fedora 9 Released!

Fedora 9 is now officially released! You can get the bits, via BitTorrent or via direct download, at http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora

Some of the features that I'm most excited about:
  • Xorg 1.5
  • FreeIPA
  • Anaconda encryption of the root filesystem
  • Improved NetworkManager
  • KDE4
  • Gnome 2.22
  • Live persistence
  • New GDM
  • Preupgrade
  • Partition resizing via anaconda
  • Upstart
  • And perhaps most importantly, Firefox 3!
Thanks to all the developers, QA, bug triage, art, marketing, websites, documentation, and other numerous groups that made this release happen!
