2.5. Other Updates

  • gaim is now called pidgin.
  • Intel microcode updated to version 1.17. This adds support for new Intel processors.
  • Implicit active-active failover using dm-multipath on EMC Clariion storage is now supported.
  • The Chinese font Zysong is no longer installed as part of the fonts-chinese package. Zysong is now packaged separately as fonts-chinese-zysong. The fonts-chinese-zysong package is located in the Supplementary CD.
    Note that the fonts-chinese-zysong package is needed to support the Chinese National Standard GB18030.
  • The Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) username and password have a character limit of 256 each.
  • pump is deprecated in this update. As such, configuring your network interface through netconfig may result in broken ifcfg scripts.
    To properly configure your network interface, use system-config-network instead. Installing the updated system-config-network package removes netconfig.
  • rpm --aid is no longer supported. It is recommended that you use yum when updating and installing packages.
