Fedora Linux 45 RC-1.4 has been released as a new candidate ahead of a Go/No-Go meeting scheduled for today, with the potential for the official release on November 3, 2026. This version aims to address previous blocker issues, including fixes for the eMudhra certificate, stratisd encryption, and other bugs that halted prior release attempts. The latest candidate differs from RC-1.3 by adding a patch for multi-disk encrypted installs and a fix that was missed in the previous release candidate. If the meeting today confirms RC-1.4, it will pave the way for the long-awaited launch, following delays due to various unresolved issues
Fedora Linux 45 RC-1.4 Release Candidate Now Available as Disturbing Toward 3 November Launch
Fedora Linux 45 Candidate RC‑1.4 arrived today as an alternative to RC‑1.3, with both builds viable heading into a make-or-break Go/No‑Go meeting at 17:00 UTC. If it clears the bar, the long-delayed release is set to ship on Tuesday, 3 November 2026. The new build layers targeted fixes for the eMudhra certificate, stratisd encryption, and oo7 bugs that blocked two earlier NO‑GO votes. All RC‑1.4 test results fold back into RC‑1.3 except Stratis, giving QA essentially one shot to validate the final candidate this week.
