Kernel release status

The current 2.6 development kernel is 2.6.26-rc8, released by Linus on June 24. "It hasn't been a week, I know, and this is a pretty small set of changes since -rc7, but I'm going to be mostly incommunicado for the next week or so, so I just released what will hopefully be the last -rc." See the long-format changelog for all the details.

2.6.26-rc7 was released on June 20; it contains another set of fixes and support for some new graphics cards.

As of this writing, no patches have been merged into the mainline git repository since 2.6.26-rc8.

The current stable 2.6 kernel is 2.6.25.9, released on June 24. It contains a small set of fixes, a couple of which have security implications. 2.6.25.8 was released on June 21 with about a dozen fixes.

how did you figure out that?

"2.6.26.8 was released on June 21 with about a dozen fixes."

Typo; should be "2.6.25.8"

Well, if you believed gregkh's l-k post on Monday, it should be 2.6.28.9 ;}}}
