Kernel release status

The current 2.6 prepatch is 2.6.22-rc6, released by Linus on June 24. "I'm happy to say that things seem to have calmed down after -rc5, and that most of this really is just bugfixes and regression fixing in particular." This kernel development cycle would appear to be getting closer to its conclusion; the list of known regressions is getting short. As always, the long-format changelog has lots of details.

About 30 patches have been merged into the mainline git repository since the 2.6.22-rc6 release; they are fixes, mostly in the architecture-specific and USB code.

There have been no -mm releases over the last week, and no releases of any stable kernel trees.
