Fedora 15 alpha delayed - Btrfs may be default in 16

The Fedora project has postponed the release of the first and only alpha version of Fedora 15, originally scheduled for 1 March, by a week. This was due, at least in part, to a The Fedora project has postponed the release of the first and only alpha version of Fedora 15, originally scheduled for 1 March, by a week. This was due, at least in part, to a bug in X Server that occurred in connection with keyboard layouts for such languages as German or French and prevented users from successfully logging into GDM. Subsequent milestones in the release schedule for Fedora 15 remain unaffected at present, and the final release is still scheduled for 10 May.
The fifteenth Fedora release is currently planned to be the first version that won't require a special boot parameter to be submitted to the installer in order to format a storage device with the experimental Btrfs file system. Red Hat employee Josef Bacik, who is heavily involved in the development of Btrfs, has now proposed on the project's most important developer mailing list that Btrfs should be made the default file system in Fedora 16, which is expected in late October or early November. One of the reasons given by Bacik is that 90% of the development of a tool for checking and repairing Btrfs have reportedly already been completed, and that the tool is due to be released within the next two months.
The pros and cons of his proposal are still being discussed on the mailing list. For example, one Red Hat employee commented that he has had problems with Btrfs every time he has tried it; file system and storage specialist Ric Wheeler, who also works at Red Hat, replied that Btrfs has proven quite stable in internal tests.
Several months will probably pass before the project will decide, giving the open source world the opportunity to gain more experience with the stability of Btrfs. Although Btrfs is currently still experimental, the file system is already used as the default file system in MeeGo. Earlier this month, contributors to the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML) discussed a bug which can be reproduced in 2.6.37 and has been found to cause data loss when copying a file from a compressed Btrfs system.

Nokia releases Qt SDK 1.1 Beta

Following the release of a technology preview in January, the Qt developers at Nokia have announced the release of a beta of version 1.1 of the Qt SDK, the next edition of the software development kit for the Qt user interface framework. The 1.1 version of the Qt SDK will deliver on promises made at last year's Qt Dev Days to provide tooling for the declarative Qt Quick/QML; this allows user interfaces to be defined in structured, reusable text.
Among the tools is Qt Quick Designer, a component of the IDE, Qt Creator 2.1, which offers a WYSIWYG editor for QML based interfaces which include animations and transitions. This, in turn, also allows for rapid prototyping and testing. Other components included with the SDK are Qt 4.7.2 for Symbian^1 and Symbian^3 devices, a maintenance release that contains bug-fixes based on user feedback and contributions since version 4.7.1 arrived in November, Qt Mobility 1.1.1 and the Qt Simulator 1.1 beta.
With the release of Qt Creator 2.1, the developers have also launched Qt Quick (Qt UI Creation Kit), which "introduces exciting new functionality into Qt that lets developers and UI designers work together to rapidly create beautiful, fluid UIs and applications for any Qt platform, all based on our simple-to-learn QML language."
The beta Qt SDK is not designed for production use and applications developed with it will not be accepted into the Ovi Store, but they can be loaded onto development devices. Users testing the release are encouraged to provide feedback and report any bugs that they encounter.
Further information about the SDK beta can be found in a post on the Qt Blog. The Qt SDK 1.1 Beta is available to download from the Forum Nokia pages. The components in the Qt SDK are licensed under a number of open source licences, including the LGPL, and under Nokia's own proprietary licences.

Wayland snapshot available for Ubuntu 11.04

A snapshot of the Wayland display server has been uploaded to the Ubuntu 11.04 Universe repository. Canonical developer Bryce Harrington says in his announcement that this has little relevance to end users and is experimental code intended to act as a foundation and starting point for packaging and further development work.
The Wayland snapshot is not even the most recent code but an older snapshot which is now several months out of date. This is because the older code is compatible with the Mesa 7.10 graphics library used in Ubuntu 11.04, itself due for release in April. Harrington says he hopes to replace the snapshot with another that is a little more recent, but even that would be from January and so will still be a little out of date.
Wayland is a C library implementation of a protocol for an image compositor to talk to its clients. Mark Shuttleworth had announced that Ubuntu would in the medium term move away from the current X11 based graphics and windowing system, as X11 was not suitable for delivering the user experience that Canonical is aiming for with its new Unity desktop shell. At present, it is expected that Wayland will be introduced at the earliest in Ubuntu 11.10, due for release in October 2011.
The X Window System, originally developed at MIT in 1984, has been criticised because, for historical reasons, its underlying architecture was designed to display graphical interfaces on multiple terminals running on a time shared server. While today the X Window System is frequently used on independent desktop systems, it carries with it underlying code and design features which are unnecessary for such a desktop system. Wayland, started in 2008, is a relatively recent attempt to jettison some of this baggage.
