Kernel release status [LWN.net]

The current stable 2.6 release is 2.6.13.3, announced on October 3. It adds a handful of fixes, many in the networking subsystem.

The current 2.6 prepatch is 2.6.14-rc3, released by Linus on September 30. This prepatch is fairly large; most of the patches are small fixes, but there's also some key management improvements, a SCSI update, some netfilter patches, and an InfiniBand update. See the long-format changelog for the details.

Linus's git repository contains a relatively small number of fixes added after -rc3.

The current -mm tree is 2.6.14-rc2-mm2. Recent changes to -mm include the (temporary) dropping of a big set of PCMCIA patches, some memory management work, a workqueue change (uses per-CPU allocations now), and various fixes.

The article states that "The current stable 2.6 release is 2.6.13.3, announced on September 3." This should probably read "... announced on October 3".
