The current 2.6 development kernel is 2.6.25-rc7, released on March 25. Says Linus: "The shortlog has more details, but it boils down to some reverts, some docbook fixes, some sparse annotation fixups, a number of trivial patches, and a healthy sprinkling of small fixups. Give it a good testing, because we're hopefully now well on our way towards that eventual real 2.6.25 release!" Said shortlog can be found in the announcement, or see the long-format changelog for the details.

The current stable 2.6 kernel is 2.6.24.4, released on March 24. This release contains a large number of patches for significant problems in the 2.6.24 kernel.

Ummm... Linux 2.6.25-rc7 not 2.6.27 - I thought I had blinked and missed a release or two!
