Kernel release status
The current 2.6 development kernel is 2.6.25-rc4, released on March 4.
Patches still continue to go into the mainline repository at a high rate;
most of them are fixes, but there's also kdump support in the ehea driver,
dynamic tick handling in the RCU code, the temporary re-exporting of
init_mm until outside modules can be fixed, HT1100 SATA support,
Freescale MPC85xx DMA controller support, Seiko Instruments S-35390A RTC
support, and the restoration of GPL-only symbol access for ndiswrapper.
See the short-form changelog for details,
or the
full changelog for lots of details.
As of this writing, no post-rc4 patches have been merged into the mainline repository. The current -mm tree is 2.6.25-rc3-mm1. Recent changes to -mm include a big set of IDE changes and the removal of some old wireless drivers. The ext4 filesystem is disabled in -mm until it catches up with some API changes.
