If you own this change, please add additional information here that we should communicate to Fedora users. Specifically, please consider:

New features available because of this change - pick 2 or 3 that are important
Considerations for users of previous releases of Fedora (upgrade issues, format changes, etc.)
Links to any upstream Release Notes
If this helps Fedora be a superior environment for our target audiences, please explain how so that we can emphasize this.

Your notes to us do not need to be formally written. We will edit them and add details as needed. This is a way for you to ensure that we know what is critical about your change.

If you want to write this release note, then:

Assign this issue to yourself
Check the wiki page linked above, find out what the change is about
Determine whether the change actually made it into the release or not[0]
Write a draft release note using that information against the correct branch here, in Pagure. (or see below)
Get in touch with the contact person/people listed on the wiki page, either through IRC or e-mail, and ask them to check your draft for technical accuracy
Submit your Release Note as a PR to this repository.

Once you're done with the above, make sure to either commit the relnote to an appropriate section of the Release Notes book, or, if you're not familiar with Git, AsciiDoc, or whatever else, just add it to this issue as a comment and let pbokoc[1] know that you're done with this one and you'd like the note included. Be sure to do this at least one day before the final release (October 29 according to the current schedule). Also make sure to do this even for relnotes that haven't been checked by the change owner.

[0] You can do that by asking the change owner listed on the wiki page; alternatively you can infer it by checking the tracker bug (linked in Wiki) in Bugzilla and looking at its status; see bug comments for details. Ask someone on the mailing list or on IRC if you're not sure.
[1] In #fedora-docs on FreeNode (UTC+1 timezone, online mostly during the day on weekdays), or pbokoc @redhat.com if you can't get a hold of me on IRC.

Hi @mfabian,

If you happen to have a moment before the Fedora 34 release, could you please review this last-minute IME release note?

If you can't, don't worry about it.

Thanks!

.The Vietnamese IME now defaults to Unikey

The *Unikey* input method engine (IME) is now the default IME for Vietnamese text input. It replaces the *BoGo* IME, which was the default Vietnamese IME in previous Fedora releases.

Compared to *BoGo*, the new *Unikey* IME is actively maintained and better supports the Wayland display back end.

The *Unikey* IME is enabled by default if you installed your system in Vietnamese. To enable *Unikey* on an existing installation:

. Install the `ibus-unikey` package:
+
----
$ sudo dnf install ibus-unikey
----
. Open the *Keyboard* section in *Settings*.
. Click the *+* button.
. Select *Vietnamese*.
. Select the *Vietnamese (Unikey)* IME.
. Click *Add*.
. Click the IME indicator on the top panel to switch the active IME.
