Kernel release status

The current stable 2.6 release is 2.6.13.4, released on October 10. It contains a small number of security-related fixes, a fix for the elusive Sparc FPU bug, and a few other patches.

The current 2.6 prepatch is 2.6.14-rc4, announced by Linus on October 10. This will be, he says, the last -rc release before 2.6.14 comes out. It contains mostly fixes, but there's also some driver updates, a new Megaraid SAS driver, and a new gfp_t type which has caused a prototype change for many internal functions which perform memory allocations (see below). The details may be found in the long-format changelog.

There have been no -mm releases since 2.6.14-rc2-mm2 came out on September 29.
