The Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) this week approved several new features for the upcoming Fedora Linux 43 release. Fedora43 is now approved to release packages for Hare, a new systems programming language designed to be simple, stable, and robust.
Hare itself is still under development, but FESCo has now approved the Hare toolchain to be packaged and released into Fedora 43's repositories.
FESCo has also approved the release of the upcoming PHP 8.4 version in Fedora 43, which is no surprise. FESCo also approved the deprecation of YASM in favor of NASM. The YASM assembler is currently unmaintained, and NASM is in much better shape.
Threaded Building Blocks 2022.2, the latest update to Intel oneAPI Threaded Build (TBB), has also been approved for release. FESCo this week also approved hard linking the same /usr files in Fedora RPM packages by default
proposal. More details on these newly approved changes in Fedora 43, which will be released later this year, are available via this FESCo mailing list post.
