Kernel release status

The current 2.6 development kernel remains 2.6.30-rc3; no new prepatches have been released over the last week. Changes continue to flow into the mainline repository; they are almost all fixes, but there was also the restoration of Tux as the kernel mascot.

The current stable 2.6 kernel is 2.6.29.2, released on April 27 with about 100 patches. "There are a lot of fixes in this release touching all over the tree. At least a few have possible security impact (e.g. af_rose, agp, capability fs_mask, splice/ocfs2). As usual, you're encouraged to upgrade."
