This release will include the latest upstream release of python-setuptools. Setuptools is a package development process library designed to facilitate packaging Python projects. It enhances the former Python standard library distutils (distribution utilities).
There is also a DNF5 improvement that includes new logic that will remove expired and obsolete repository keys from the system. This means users can enjoy the automatic management of repository keys during software installation or upgrades.
We are also including the newest version of Ruby with this beta release. Ruby 3.4 is the latest stable version of Ruby. Many new features and improvements are included for the increasingly diverse and expanding demands for Ruby. With this major update from Ruby 3.3 in Fedora Linux 41 to Ruby 3.4 in Fedora Linux 42, Fedora Linux becomes the superior Ruby development platform.
In Fedora Workstation, we have also introduced the SDL3 transition and Wayland-by-default for SDL apps, and included the new GNOME well-being feature.
There are a lot more changes coming in Fedora Linux 42. The above is just a snippet!
