2. Additional Improvements
   
   
   • Policy Enforcement
     
     • Feature #1743769: Multiple Owner id Support
       Fedora's bundled XACML engine can now act on policies involving objects that have more than one owner. See Fedora Authorization with XACML for more information on configuring and using this feature.
   
   
   • Journaling
     The following improvements enable more sophisticated high availability configurations with Fedora. See the Journaling Guide for more information on configuring and using these features.
     • RMI Support - Journal leaders/followers can now be configured to communicate via RMI.
     • Multicast Support - Journaling now supports multiple followers via disk, RMI, or combination.
     • Read-only Mode - Formerly, when configured as a follower, a Fedora repository would give an error for any API-M call. Now, a follower will allow calls to API-M methods that do not make changes to the repository.
   
   
   • Miscellaneous
     
     • Fedora's out-of-box SSL server certificate (not intended for production use) has been updated with a later expiration date, for convenience.
