Kernel release status

The current stable 2.6 release is 2.6.12.5, which was announced on August 14. Among other things, this update contains fixes for a few security problems.

The current 2.6 prepatch remains 2.6.13-rc6. There has been a slow but steady stream of fixes trickling into Linus's git repository. It is unclear, as of this writing, whether the quantity of patches is sufficient to force another -rc release before 2.6.13 comes out.

The current -mm release remains 2.6.13-rc5-mm1; there have been no -mm releases since August 7.
