Kernel prepatch 2.6.18-rc1
Linus has announced the closing of the
2.6.18 merge window and the availability of 2.6.18-rc1. The list of
changes is huge; it includes a number of new drivers, a new core time
subsystem, some new TCP congestion control algorithms, the swapless page migration patches,
most of the massive serial ATA patch
set, priority-inheriting
futexes, SMPnice, the generic IRQ layer, 64-bit resources, the kernel lock validator, and much
more. A more complete list will appear in this week's Kernel Page (due
within a few hours). Linus did not include a short-form changelog, so
here's a version obtained from git; the long-form
changelog can be consulted for all the details.

Kernel prepatch 2.6.18-rc1 Posted Jul 6, 2006 15:58 UTC (Thu) by arjan (subscriber, #36785) [Link] I suspect that'll be 2.6.19 maybe ;)
