This release includes significant under-the-hood updates such as the kmscon console, Stratis storage in the installer, and the new oo7 secret-management system, along with various updated toolchain versions.

The first release candidate for Fedora Linux 45 Candidate went live today for community testing, with general availability targeted for Friday, October 30. The release packs under-the-hood modernization like the kmscon console, Stratis storage in the installer, and the oo7 secret-management system, plus a wave of new toolchain versions. QA is in decent shape with no accepted 0-day blockers, but proposed issues cluster around oo7 and several images exceed their ISO size limits.
