Kernel release status
The current 2.6 development kernel is 2.6.29-rc6, released on February 22. The list
of changes is still pretty long, but, with luck, the problems are getting
fixed. See the announcement for the short-form changelog, or see the
full changelog for all the details.
As of this writing, a few dozen post-rc6 patches have found their way into the mainline repository. They include more fixes, but also new drivers for Atheros L1C gigabit Ethernet adapters and FireDTV IEEE1394 adapters. The current stable 2.6 kernel is 2.6.28.7, released (without announcement) on February 20. It contains the usual long list of fixes, many of which are for the ext4 filesystem; the changelog has the details. 2.6.27.19 was also released on the 20th without an announcement; see the changelog for the list of patches included there.

The last -stable kernels releases did have an announcement notice. Look for Message-ID: <20090220225448.GA14122@kroah.com> for the first message in the thread.

Quite comical to boot, especially Linus's comment.
