Fedora 8 Test 3 (7.92) has been released:
Fedora 8 Test 3 is here! This is the last test release before the development freeze and a great time to test all those packages that you know and love. Test 3 is for beta users. This is the time when we must have full community participation. Without this participation both hardware and software functionality suffers.

Fedora 8 Test 2 (7.91) has been released:
Batten down the hatches, Fedora 8 Test 2 spotted just over the port side bow!
A veritable "sea" of choices await you in this release. First up is the "Fedora" installable 'choose your own adventure' style set of isos and trees for i386, x86_64, and ppc(64). Next up we have a variety of Live images:
* Fedora Live (i686, x86_64, ppc) - A good general use Desktop live image. i686 even fits on a CD!
* Fedora KDE Live (i686, x86_64) - A Desktop based on the KDE software suite. i686 even fits on a CD!
* Fedora Developer Live (i686) - A Live image designed for software developers.
* Fedora Electronic Lab (FEL) Live (i686) - A live image designed for engineers working on electronics. Fits on a CD!
Remember that these Live images can be used on USB meida via the 'livecd-iso-to-disk' utility available in the livecd-tools package.
Test 2 is for "beta" users. This is the time where we have more features in a "testable" state where the more people using them and the more feedback we get the better. So please help us make Fedora 8 as good as we can!

Fedora Core 5 has been discontinued:
As of Monday, July 2nd 2007, Fedora Core 5 has gone into retirement. No further updates will be issued for FC5 or FE5 as we refocus our developer attention to development of F8 and maintenance of our most recent stable Fedora 7.
The Fedora Project now runs on a N+2 + 1 month support schedule. This means the supported lifetime of FC5 was scheduled to end one month after the release of F7. FC5 was supported from March 20th 2006 through July 2nd 2007, or a good ~15.5 months.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/Schedule
By the current Fedora 8 development schedule, the supported lifetime of FC6 is to continue to a minimum of early December 2007.

From the fedora mailinglist:
As many of you are aware, our policy on the lifecycles of Fedora releases is:
"Fedora X will be maintained until about one month after Fedora X+2"
Fedora 7 was released on May 31st. Fedora Core 5 will reach its End of Life on Friday June 29th.
This was previously mentioned on fedora-announce-list on May 3rd, but is worth repeating.

Thank you,
