OK, so what 256-color terminal support means, right? Well, it enables terminal programs to use the enhanced color capabilities of modern terminals, by default. At the moment, terminals use a color palette of 8 colors. Among other features approved for Fedora 18 in yesterday’s meeting, we can mention improved CIM management, PowerPC ppc64p7 subarch support for RPM and YUM, Rails 3.2, Fontconfig 2.10, and Perl 5.16.
