Kernel release status

The current 2.6 development kernel is 2.6.27-rc3, released on August 12. Along with the expected pile of fixes, this release includes a bunch of big kernel lock pushdown work in the watchdog subsystem, an SMSC SCH5027 i2c driver, an Analog Devices AD7414 temperature monitoring chip driver, and the new ath9k driver (for Atheros 802.11n devices) contributed by Atheros. See the short-form changelog for details, or the full changelog for lots of details.

As of this writing, no changes have been committed to the mainline repository since the 2.6.27-rc3 release.

No stable kernel updates have been made over the last week.
