+ title: CentOS Stream 10 Release Notes

+ ---

+ 

+ ## Introduction

+ 

+ Welcome to CentOS Stream 10 "Coughlan",

+ the latest version of the CentOS Project distribution.

+ 

+ CentOS Stream defines Enterprise Linux.

+ It is a Linux distribution built by Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) engineers,

+ and is used as the major version branch that RHEL minor versions are created from.

+ It has roughly a five year lifecycle and will be maintained until 2030.

+ The exact date will be contingent on the end of the Full Support phase of RHEL 10.

+ 

+ ## Architectures

+ 

+ CentOS Stream 10 uses the Linux 6.12 kernel,

+ which provides support for the following architectures.

+ 

+ * x86\_64 (v3)

+ * aarch64

+ * ppc64le (power9)

+ * s390x (z14)

+ 

+ ## Repositories

+ 

+ CentOS Stream 10 is distributed through two main DNF repositories,

+ BaseOS and AppStream.

+ The CRB repository is also available, but is disabled by default.

+ 

+ ### BaseOS

+ 

+ Packages in the BaseOS repository are intended to provide the core set of operating system functionality.

+ 

+ ### AppStream

+ 

+ Packages in the AppStream repository include additional user-space applications, runtime languages, and databases

+ to accomodate various workloads and use cases.

+ 

+ ### CRB

+ 

+ Packages in the CRB repository are intended to accomodate development use cases.

+ 

+ ## New features and enhancements

+ 

+ CentOS Stream 10 includes several notable new features and enhancements.

+ 

+ ### Programming languages and compilers

+ 

+ * Python 3.12

+ * GCC 14

+ * Go 1.23

+ * Rust 1.82

+ * LLVM 19

+ * Ruby 3.3

+ * Node.js 22

+ * PHP 8.3

+ * OpenJDK 21

+ 

+ ### Webservers

+ 

+ * Apache HTTP Server 2.4.62

+ * nginx 1.26

+ 

+ ### Databases

+ 

+ * PostgreSQL 16

+ * MariaDB 10.11

+ * MySQL 8.4

+ * Valkey 7.2

+ 

+ ### Desktop technologies

+ 

+ * GNOME 47

+ * Qt 6.7

+ 

+ ## Removed functionality

+ 

+ CentOS Stream 10 does not include some packages that were previously included in CentOS Stream 9.

+ 

+ ### Xorg server

+ 

+ Xorg server (`xorg-x11-server-Xorg`) is no longer included.

+ Wayland is the default display stack,

+ with Xwayland (`xorg-x11-server-Xwayland`) available as a compatibility layer for legacy X11 applications.

+ You can read more about this transition in the blog post

+ [Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 plans for Wayland and Xorg server](https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/rhel-10-plans-wayland-and-xorg-server).

+ 

+ ### Desktop applications

+ 

+ Most graphical desktop applications have been removed.

+ This includes:

+ 

+ * Firefox

+ * GIMP

+ * LibreOffice

+ * Inkscape

+ * Thunderbird

+ 

+ RHEL is transitioning to providing desktop applications via Flatpak.

+ CentOS users who want these applications are encouraged to install them from

+ [Flathub](https://flathub.org) or

+ [request them in EPEL](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-package-request/).

+ 

+ ### Redis

+ 

+ Redis has been replaced with Valkey, a Redis fork.

+ 

+ ## Known issues

+ 

+ ### Secureboot

+ 

+ At this time, CentOS Stream 10 does not work with secureboot enabled.

+ This is currently blocked on [a shim review](https://github.com/rhboot/shim-review/issues/454).

+ 

+ ## More information

+ 

+ This page is intended as an overview of the basic properties of CentOS Stream 10,

+ but it is not an exhaustive list of all changes and topics.

+ The [RHEL 10 Beta documentation](https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/10-beta/)

+ provides additional notes and guides which mostly apply to CentOS Stream as well.

+ 

As discussed as few times at the promo meetings and in chat, we should have proper release notes. This creates that page and adds a link to it (and the existing CS9 release notes) on the downloads page. It also adds a link to it from the header documentation dropdown.
