Kernel release status

The current 2.6 development kernel is 2.6.28-rc6, released by Linus on November 20, just before he fled town for a scuba diving trip. (At least one assumes he fled town; it is not the best season for ocean sports in Portland.) It includes a number of fixes, including one for the high-profile vmalloc() regression. The long-format changelog has the details.

The current stable 2.6 kernel is 2.6.27.7, also released on November 20. It includes a fair number of fixes, including one with a CVE number attached.
