Kernel release status
The current 2.6 development kernel remains 2.6.27-rc3. There have
been a lot of patches merged into the mainline repository, however, and the
2.6.27-rc4 release can be expected at almost any time. Along with all the
fixes, 2.6.27-rc4 will add support for the multitouch trackpad on new Apple
laptops, more reshuffling of architecture-specific include files, a number
of XFS improvements, interrupt stacks for the SPARC64 architecture, the
removal of the obsolete Auerswald USB sound driver, and new drivers for TI
TUSB 6010 USB controllers, Inventra HDRC USB controllers, and National
Semiconductor adcxx8sxxx analog-to-digital converters.
The current stable 2.6 kernel is 2.6.26.3; it was released (along with 2.6.25.16) on August 20. Both updates contain a large number of fixes for a wide variety of serious problems. (Log in to post comments)
