Release Notes for Scientific Linux 6.3

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major Differences from SL6.2

Added/Changed:
OpenAFS
     Updated to version 1.6.1-112.sl6

External Repositories for yum
     The yum-conf-rpmfusion has been added by popular request.

     End users must verify their own eligibility and license compliance
     before use.

yum-conf-sl6x
     Updated GPG key list, CERN's key is now listed here too

redhat-logos
     Now provides 'linux-logos'

xorg-x11-server
     Changed to remove TUV's support URL

sl-indexhtml
     Updated Swedish translation by Alexander Lindqvist

sl-bookmarks
     Now includes links to useful non-SL provided resources

SL_enable_serialconsole
     Augeas is now used for setting up the initial configuration
     The rpm now removes the serial configuration when uninstalled
     Now uses 'conflict' to ensure only one version installed at a time
     The end result should be identical to the previous script
     The old configuration script can be found in the %doc folder
        /usr/share/SL_enable_serialconsole*/OLDSCRIPT

revisor
     Support has been added for the upstream changes in anaconda.

     The 'beta' release notice can now be turned on or off depending on
     your needs.

sl-revisor-configs
     The kickstart files provided have been renamed for simplicity.

     We've also added a script for making an updated disc, containing
     all the current published errata


Removed:

libproxy-mozjs
     Requires an old version of xulrunner, upstream bug 797779.
     We have removed it for now, when an updated package is released we
     expect to build it.
     If you need this package you can pull it from 6.2

libvirt-qpid
     Requires an old version of qpid-cpp-client, upstream bug 839006
     We have removed it for now, when an updated package is released we
     expect to build it.
     If you need this package you can pull it from 6.2

sanlock and tboot
     Upstream only features these packages on x86_64, previously they
     were in both arches.
     If upstream returns support for these in the i686 tree, we expect
     to package them again.
