  == Modules for everyone

  

+ Fedora 28 was the first release to enable modular repositories.

+ However, it was only provided in the Server edition.

+ In Fedora 29, all Fedora installations now have access to modules.

+ 

+ Modules allow you to access alternative versions of popular software, giving you a wider range of software choices.

+ Fedora packagers are able to use modules and module defaults to build each stream once and have it available for any Fedora release they wish.

+ This means they no longer need to duplicate that work for both the modular and non-modular repositories.

+ 

+ See xref:fedora:modularity:index[Modularity docs] for information about modules in Fedora.

+ 

  == DNF 4

  

  Fedora 29 provides the *DNF 4* package manager, which provides some changes to how modularity is implemented.
