Kernel release status [LWN.net]

The current development kernel is 2.5.64, unchanged from one week ago. Linus has been busy, however; his BitKeeper tree includes more driver model work, the continuing removal of unwanted stuff from devfs, a uClinux update, an x86-64 update, some block layer cleanups (see below), scheduler changes for improved interactive response (see below again), and a number of other fixes.

Alan Cox has released 2.5.64-ac3 which adds a new set of IDE updates. "Handle with care."

The current stable kernel is 2.4.20; Marcelo has not released any 2.4.21 prepatches over the last week.

Alan Cox's current 2.4.21 prepatch is 2.4.21-pre5-ac3. Here you'll find an even newer set of IDE changes, along with quite a few other fixes and updates.

Just a random comment:
Could you provide the most current pre-patch fro th 2.4 kernel too?

I think it would be nice if the line read something like:

The current stable kernel is 2.4.20. The latest prepatch is 2.4.21-pre5; Marcelo has not released any 2.4.21 prepatches over the last week

Just seems like a nice bit of information to have. Of curse people can just go to kernel.org, but if you are providing the information anyway, why not be a bit more complete?
