Kernel release status

The current 2.6 prepatch is 2.6.18-rc5, released by Linus on August 27. As one would expect for this stage in the 2.6.18 cycle, this patch adds a bunch of fixes but not much else. See the long-format changelog for the details.

A very small number of patches have gone into the mainline git repository since -rc5 was released.

The current -mm tree is 2.6.18-rc4-mm3; changes in this release are mostly bug fixes and minor updates.

Stable kernel 2.6.16.28 was released on August 26. There is a fairly long list of fixes in this release, including at least four which are security-related.
