The 2.6.18 stable kernel is out
At long last, Linus ("but you can call me Cap'n") has released the 2.6.18 stable kernel. Do read
the announcement; it appears to have some changelog entries which did not
come directly from git.
There is a
vast amount of new stuff in this release, including priority-inheriting futexes, a
new generic interrupt handling
layer, a new core time
subsystem, the kernel locking
validator, the SMPnice
work, a bunch of virtual memory work, a huge serial ATA update, the removal
of devfs, and much more. See the KernelNewbies LinuxChanges
page for a much more detailed list, the LWN 2.6 kernel API changes page for
information on internal programming interface changes, or the
long-format changelog for thousands of patches' worth of detail.

The 2.6.18 stable kernel is out Posted Sep 20, 2006 12:55 UTC (Wed) by job (subscriber, #670) [Link] Netfilter also gained connection tracking for SIP ("IP Telephony"). Thisis of tremendous importance to NAT users (that is, if it works correctly, I had no such luck with earlier snapshots).
The 2.6.18 stable kernel is out Posted Sep 20, 2006 13:19 UTC (Wed) by kaber (guest, #18366) [Link] DNAT is not properly supported yet, SNAT and connection tracking should work fine (I've been using it for my telefone line for a couple of month now). If something doesn't work, please report it to netfilter-devel@lists.netfilter.org.

Better link; the original Posted Sep 20, 2006 18:06 UTC (Wed) by felixfix (subscriber, #242) [Link] I believe these guys are the ones who started the whole thing.
pirate talkfilter? Posted Sep 20, 2006 16:43 UTC (Wed) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] That wasn't purely filter-generated: note the entries involving marooning dead URLs, the bilge-sucking nature of some other code, and the entry for 'Davy Jones'...
Definitely a nice bit of light-heartedness. :)
