Kernel release status

The current 2.6 prepatch is 2.6.16-rc5, released on February 26. Says Linus: "There's not much to say about this: people have been pretty good, and it's just a random collection of fixes in various random areas." Details can be found in the long-format changelog.

The mainline git repository contains, as of this writing, several dozen fixes merged since -rc5 was released.

The current -mm tree is 2.6.15-rc5-mm1. Recent changes to -mm include a relayfs API change, a new set of notifier patches, a big rework of the /proc code, and the return of the swap prefetching patch.
