Goodbye Fedora 12

Today, we are sorry to announce the end of life for the Fedora 12 (Constantine) operating system, on December 2nd, 2010. This means that, starting two days ago, users of Fedora 12 will no longer receive security/critical fixes and software updates. Therefore, all Fedora 12 users are urged to upgrade to the most recent version, Fedora 14, as soon as possible.

Fedora 12 was officially released a year ago, on November 17th, 2009. It was dubbed Constantine and it offered the latest stable version of GNOME 2.28 and KDE SC 4.3 desktop environments, faster boot experience (powered by Plymouth), improved HD video codecs, spanning desktop support, better webcam support, RPM XZ compression, better support for Intel hardware, EXT4 as the default filesystem, Moblin support, and Linux Kernel 2.6.31.5.
