Fedora 29: Fedora is one of the most popular GNU/Linux distributions. It is the result of the Fedora Project, a large volunteer community funded by Red Hat.
It is based on the Linux kernel and uses core tools from the GNU project.
The Fedora Linux project is Red Hat's open source. Fedora is essentially a testing distribution of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). So what you see in Fedora today, you'll see in RHEL tomorrow.
So according to the official Releases Schedule for the upcoming version, the stable distribution of the next version 29 will be released tomorrow. Don't get ready because the new version will be released on the scheduled schedule only if everything has gone well.
As usual, the distribution has been updated with minor bug fixes and package modifications. Fedora 29 will run on the yet-to-be-released Linux kernel 4.19. The updated programs include: Python 3.7, Perl 5.28. glibc 2.28, Golang 1.11, and MySQL 8.
Fedora Workstation comes with GNOME 3.30 as the default desktop. GNOME 3.30 is said to perform better than previous versions. It also features a new Podcasts app and automatically updates Flatpaks, Red Hat's container applications, from the Software Center.
New in this release is “modularity” for all Fedora 29 releases. With modularity, you can run multiple versions of the same program in parallel, installed in containers. This allows you to test beta applications in a container while running the stable versions in your production container.
So we are awaiting the stable version, and a new publication will follow immediately after.
