Fedora Linux 45 Final's release has been delayed to November 3, 2026, after being declared NO-GO during the October 22 meeting due to unresolved blocker bugs, primarily concerning an eMudhra certificate issue. This marks the second consecutive failure to meet the release schedule, with the previous NO-GO occurring on October 15 when no candidate media was ready. The team now requires an updated ca-certificates package to address the compromised certificates and must verify it before the next decision meeting on October 29. Although the release has faced significant delays, it is expected to offer a robust feature set, including enhanced storage options and updated packages, provided the outstanding issues are resolved
