Upgraded GNU Compiler Toolchain Approved For Fedora 39

This is the best summary I could come up with:

It shouldn’t come as much surprise for those familiar with Fedora given its tendency to always ship with the very latest open-source compiler toolchain components, but this autumn’s release of Fedora 39 will once again have all the leading-edge GNU compiler pieces.

The Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) this week formally approved the GNU toolchain upgrade for Fedora 39.

Fedora 38 earlier this year was already using GCC 13 by default so this toolchain upgrade isn’t as significant but still it’s great having the new Binutils and Glibc releases as part of providing the very latest features and hardware support.

Glibc 2.38 released last month with more C2X features, strlcpy and cstrlcat functions, and other additions.

FESCo this week also approved enabling automatic updates in the Fedora Kinoite spin, migrating NetworkManager ifcfg profiles to keyfile, updating to IBus 1.5.29, and using Noto fonts for Indian language scripts.

Meanwhile the plan for switching Fedora Workstation 39 to the Anaconda WebUI for new installations is still being sorted out and will again be brought up for discussion at the next FESCo meeting.
