It has got few important changes from previous releases. This release will keep you more updated with cutting edge technology.
Fedora is a leading-edge, free and open source operating system that continues to deliver innovative features to many users, with a new release about every six months.. or so. But this time it got delayed and obviously all the enthusiast will be in a hope that this has to do more with the cutting edge technology and they are right. Schrödinger's Cat, is of course, Fedora's best release yet.

What's New in Fedora 19?
A complete list with details of each new feature is available here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/19/FeatureList
== Make new things ==
Would you like to play? Whether you're a developer, maker, or just starting to learn about open source development, we have what you need to bring your ideas to reality. Here's a peek at some of our new tools:
* Developer's Assistant is a tool for new developers that helps you to get started on a code project by offering templates, samples, and toolchains for a variety of languages. And when you're finished, you can publish directly to GitHub!
* 3D modelling and printing are supported with OpenSCAD, Skeinforge, SFACT, Printrun, RepetierHost, and other tool options. Get printing without having to download binary blobs or run Python code from git.
* OpenShift Origin makes it easy for you to build your own Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) infrastructure, allowing you to enable others to easily develop and deploy software.
* node.js is a popular Javascript-based platform for those building scalable network applications or real-time apps across distributed devices.
* Ruby 2.0.0 moves into Fedora but keeps source-level backwards compatibility with your Ruby 1.9.3 software. We're also giving you a custom Ruby loader to use to easily switch interpreters.
* MariaDB offers a truly open MySQL implementation and is now the default MySQL option in Fedora.
== Deploy, Monitor, and Manage ==
You don't have to work so hard when your machines are doing it for you. Regardless of how many you have, Fedora 19 helps you boot-manage your systems and gives you the tools you need for diagnosis, monitoring, and logging.
* systemd Resource Control is one of many systemd enhancements in this release. It lets you modify your service settings without a reboot by dynamically querying and modifying resource control parameters at runtime.
* Kerberos administrators no longer need their clients to sync their clocks or to have reverse DNS records carefully setup for services. Fedora 19 also includes Kerberos-enabled, LDAP replicated, two-factor authentication for FreeIPA.
* Checkpoint & Restore lets you checkpoint and restore a process. It is useful for issues like process failure or moving a process to another machine for maintenance or load balancing.
* OpenLMI is a common infrastructure for the management of Linux systems that makes remote management of machines much simpler. *** Downloads, upgrades, documentation, and common bugs ***
