		`+ == PipeWire is now the default audio service`
		`+`
		`+ The Pipewire service now manages all audio output and input. Pipewire replaces the PulseAudio service in general use cases and the JACK service in professional use cases. The system now redirects audio from applications that use PulseAudio, JACK, or the ALSA framework into Pipewire.`
		`+`
		`+ Benefits of Pipewire over the previous solutions include:`
		`+`
		`+ * A unified solution for consumer and professional users`
		`+ * A flexible, modular architecture`
		`+ * High performance and low latency, similar to the JACK service`
		`+ * Isolation between audio clients for better security`
		`+`
		`+ You no longer have to configure the JACK service for applications that use it. All JACK applications now work in the default Fedora configuration.`

		* `ibus-anthy` is now the default Japanese IME(input method engine) to develop Japanese IME more effectively as the former was `ibus-kkc`. `ibus-anthy` depends on `anthy-unicode` and `kasumi-unicode` newly instead of `anthy` and `kasumi`.

		`Memory allocation for zram happens dynamically, so the block device's full size is not allocated as it is created. This dynamic resourse allocation, combined with compression in the zram device that is generally greater than 2:1, ensures that the swap file does not entirely consume available memory.`

		`+ == systemd-oomd prevents out-of-memory situations`
		`+`
		+ The `systemd-oomd` service monitors swap and CGroups on your system using the Linux pressure stall information (PSI) and analyzes wasted productivity due to resource shortages. When the system is running out of memory, `systemd-oomd` terminates processes under the CGroup that exceeds the configured memory limits.
		`+`
		+ The `systemd-oomd` service is now enabled by default on new installations and when upgrading existing installations. It automatically replaces the `earlyoom` service, which previous Fedora releases used to prevent out-of-memory situations.
		`+`
		+ For information on configuring `systemd-oomd`, see the `oomd.conf` man page.

		`+ == The root Btrfs file system now uses compression`
		`+`
		+ New Fedora installations now enable transparent compression on the root Btrfs file system, including all its subvolumes. The default compression algorithm is `zstd:1`. This change has no effect on Fedora variants that do not use Btrfs in their installation.
		`+`
		`+ The benefits of the compression include:`
		`+`
		`+ * The compression saves storage space and can significantly increase the lifespan of flash-based media, such as SSDs, by reducing write amplification.`
		`+ * The compression can increase read and write performance.`
		`+`
		`+ You can configure the Btrfs compression on an existing installation:`
		`+`
		`+ * To enable the compression:`
		+ .. Edit the `/etc/fstab` file.
		+ .. Add the `compress=zstd:1` option to the `/` mount point.
		`+ .. Remount the file system:`
		`+ +`
		`+ ----`
		`+ $ sudo mount -o remount,compress=zstd:1 /`
		`+ ----`
		`+`
		`+ * To disable the compression:`

I've written several release notes as part of this PR. I'll try to add a couple more before the release, if time allows.

I wasn't sure about the best placement for some of them. Feel free to move them around.

@mareksu Thanks! Just a few organizational notes:

Please write down the numbers of fixed issues in a comment here so I don't have to hunt them down in the commit log :). Currently that should be #635, #625, #630, #627, #611. (You can just write # and a number and pagure will create the link automatically as long as it's in the same repo. Works on both PRs and issues.)
Also, it's a good idea to put a "WIP" in the PR title if you're planning to add to it in the future, so I don't merge it before you're done.
