Fedora Linux 43 has entered its Beta Freeze phase, with the first beta version planned for mid next month. During this period, only packages that fix accepted blocker or freeze exception bugs will be marked as 'stable' and included in the Beta composes. Other builds will remain under update testing until the beta release is approved. Additionally, changes to strings marked for translation should not occur, and Fedora Linux 43 changes must now be feature complete or close enough to completion that a majority of its functionality can be tested.
