Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 2.5.66; there have been no development kernel releases since March 24.

Linus's BitKeeper repository is full of patches, however, including some loadable module tweaks, some softirq handling changes (fixing a bug where bottom halves could be run when interrupts are disabled), an improved scsi_debug module, a number of PCMCIA/Cardbus improvements, a new initcall_debug boot parameter for tracking down early boot crashes, an ACPI update, an NFS update, some IDE changes, an XFS update, a big x86-64 update, and numerous other cleanups and fixes.

The current stable kernel is 2.4.20; the last 2.4.21 prepatch was 2.4.21-pre6, released on March 26.
