Kernel release status

The current 2.6 development kernel is 2.6.29-rc5, released on February 13. It has some driver updates and a lot of fixes. "So go out and test the heck out of it, because I'm going to spend the three-day weekend drunk at the beach. Because somebody has to do it." See the full changelog for all the details.

The current stable 2.6 kernel is 2.6.28.6, released (along with 2.6.27.18) on February 17. Both contain a long list of fixes for a variety of problems.

Previously, 2.6.28.5 and 2.6.27.16 were released on February 12. 2.6.27.17 was rushed out moments afterward with a fix to an "instant oops" problem on some laptops.
