Kernel release status

The current 2.6 prepatch remains 2.6.13-rc3. Linus's git repository continues to accumulate patches; most of them are fixes, but there is also a set of SCSI updates and a set of cleanups for the system shutdown and reboot code.

The current -mm tree is 2.6.13-rc3-mm2. Quite a few patches have been added to -mm recently, but they are almost exclusively fixes for various problems. Andrew estimates there are over 100 patches in -mm which need to go straight into 2.6.13.

The current 2.4 prepatch is 2.4.32-pre2, released by Marcelo on July 27. It includes a small number of fixes, including one which closes a security hole.
