+    <para>
+      Fedora 12 includes <package>Boost</package> 1.39. In Fedora 13,
+      there is an upgrade to Boost 1.40, which, due to some
+      improvements in the way Boost is built, allows Fedora to be in
+      closer sync with the upstream development. The release notes for
+      <package>Boost</package> can be found at <ulink type="http"

+    <para>
+
+      <package>Systemtap</package> has been extended to support user
+      space tracing, and in particular to support static (dtrace
+      compatible) markers enabled in various programs in Fedora. This
+      enables users, developers and administrators a high level
+      overview of what is going on with their system or deep down in a
+      specific program or subsystem.

+    <title>Easier Python Debugging</title>
+    <para>
+
+      The <package>gdb</package> debugger has been extended so that it
+      can report detailed information on the internals of the Python 2
+      and Python 3 runtimes. Backtraces involving Python will now by
+      default show mixed C and Python-level information on what such
+      processes are doing, without requiring expertise in the use of
+      gdb.
