openSUSE:Major features

tagline: From openSUSE

On this page we collect the features coming in the next openSUSE release. Marketing takes things from here to write the release announcement and feature guide. If you are a packager in openSUSE and you made a major change, please add details and possible links here! Do not worry about pretty text, even a copy-paste from your changelog (with features, not the bugfixes etc) is helpful! For openSUSE Ambassadors we have a quick list of most notable openSUSE:Upcoming_features, which is managed by the Marketing team.
Please do not edit this page for 12.3 anymore, add things to the final features document instead. 13.1 features can be added below, either in the existing categories or by creating a new one.
