*Sugar IRC-10 in RPi "B" 512 on rpfr-f18-rc1 (arm) and rpfr-17-xfce-r2 use IP6 ...all my other devices use IP4
 +
...
 +
In general newer versions of Fedora will try and autodiscover IPv6 networks.
 +
If it finds one with a non-local (not fe80::) IP address it will get on it, and used the IPv6 routers spotted if present
 +
Given a DNS name with both IPv4 & v6 addresses set, it's mostly up to the application to see if asks the OS to do v4, v6,
 +
or just generically whichever the OS thinks makes the most sense

 +
Changes in this release:
 +
 +
- Image resize/swap space creation is now more reliable (note, however,
 +
that it will take several minutes after the firstboot setup before the
 +
resize/swap takes effect - the system may be used during this time). I
 +
think we've probably nailed the last of the significant
 +
firstboot/resize/swap issues.
 +
 +
- The image is now 1.852G in size and will fit a 2GB card (4GB or larger
 +
card is recommended to allow plenty of space for data/extra
 +
software/swap). The download is 665MB.
 +
 +
Next week we'll start performance tests with armv6 rebuilds (sfp & hfp)
 +
and continue work on image size reduction and boot cutdown.
