Kernel release status
The current 2.6 prepatch is 2.6.18-rc3, released on July 29. The
patch rate is beginning to slow as this kernel stabilizes, so this prepatch
adds a number of fixes but not much else. The long-format
changelog has the details.
Well over 100 fixes have been merged into the mainline repository since -rc3 was released. The current -mm tree is 2.6.18-rc2-mm1. Recent changes to -mm include a big x86-64 update, an NFS update, and lots of fixes. (Log in to post comments)
Kernel release status Posted Aug 4, 2006 17:53 UTC (Fri) by kreutzm (guest, #4700) [Link] Why is release of 2.4.33-rc3 not mentioned here (just a few paragraphs below)? I thought the rule was that 2.4 is reported here as well, just that most weeks simply have nothing to report on this fronts?
2.4 status Posted Aug 4, 2006 18:18 UTC (Fri) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] ...because it was discussed just below, and I didn't see any reason to duplicate it.
2.4 status Posted Aug 5, 2006 13:31 UTC (Sat) by ronaldcole (guest, #1462) [Link] A note of it's release in the "kernel status" pointing to an article below is not duplication, IMO.
New version of Grsecurity out Posted Aug 4, 2006 19:39 UTC (Fri) by kreutzm (guest, #4700) [Link] Also a new version of grsecurity is out since a few days: Version 2.1.9 for kernel 2.6.17.7. This probably belong to the security related news, but there is no possibility to post a comment to this section.
