The Fedora Linux 42 beta was released today[[1]]. The Fedora CoreOS `next` 
stream
has been rebased and is currently rolling out. This is a preview of what is 
coming
to the `testing` and `stable` streams when Fedora Linux 42 is released in the 
coming
months.

For more information about Fedora 42, see the Fedora Project’s list of official
Changes[[2]] and the Fedora CoreOS analysis of each Change[[3]].


There were a lot of changes on the Fedora CoreOS side going into this release 
that may
require attention:

- In Fedora 42, all newly provisioned nodes will now be pulling updates from 
the OCI registry
  at quay.io/fedora/fedora-coreos [[4]]. In the coming months existing nodes 
will be migrated
  as well using a migration script[[5]]. This has the potential to cause 
disruption in
  environments where proxies or firewalls need to be updated for this change.
- In Fedora 42, CoreOS has changed the backend for almost all disk image 
building to use
  OSBuild[[6]][[7]]. We don't expect any meaningful changes to user experience 
as a result
  of this.
- In Fedora 42, CoreOS the Live ISO/PXE artifacts were changed to use EROFS as 
a backing
  filesystem[[8]].
- In Fedora 42, the `pam-ssh-agent` RPM has been dropped[[9]]. If you layered 
this package
  previously it will need to be removed before systems can be updated.

Please test out the `next` stream and report any issues in our issue 
tracker[[10]]!
