The Rad Hat developers are working on the next Fedora version, 21, and the launch date was initially set for October, but it looks like it's going to be late.

Unfortunately for Fedora, the distribution has a history of being late. Most of the recent versions of the operating system have suffered from delays caused by various problems, like the Anaconda installer for example.

Now that the Fedora project has someone new in charge, fans have been hoping that their favorite operating system will arrive on time, or at least with just a small delay. By the looks of it, it's going to be hard to keep the October appointment. There are still quite a few months until then, so other things can go wrong as well.

“I forgot to open a ticket over the last week, but the Server WG has identified that completion of its core task (the Server Role API) is likely to need a little extra time. This is a blocker to release, so we figured it would be best to ask FESCo to modify the schedule in advance, rather than forcing a slip at the end. I'll bring this up in Open Floor, unless you want to add it to the formal agenda,” said Red Hat's Stephen Gallagher.

Users can't test the upcoming Fedora 21 because there is no development version out yet, but it should arrive in a couple of months.
