  The following sections contain information regarding software packages that have undergone significant changes for Fedora [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]]. For easier access, they are generally organized using the same groups that are shown in the installation system.
  
+ 
+ == Sound Card Utility ==
+ 
+ `system-config-soundcard` utility has been removed due to [https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-March/msg02148.html numerous] legacy design and implementation issues. A number of modern technologies including udev and HAL has made sound cards work out of the box much better. Any sound card not working out of the box should be reported as a bug. Preferences can still be fine tuned within the desktop environment via PulseAudio tools and others. 
+ 
  === Perl ===
+ 
  Fedora 9 now includes Perl 5.10.0, the first "major" release update in perl5 in some time.  The Perl interpreter itself is faster with a smaller memory footprint, and has several UTF-8 and threading improvements. The Perl installation is now relocatable, a blessing for systems administrators and operating system packagers.  Perl 5.10.0 also adds a new smart match operator, a switch statement, named captures, state variables, and better error messages.
