Kernel release status

The current 2.6 development kernel is 2.6.30-rc6, released on May 15. "Things definitely are calming down, with just about 300 commits in the last week. And most of them are pretty small too, although the powerpc updates brought some defconfig changes that look largish." The long-format changelog has all the details.

The current stable kernel is 2.6.29.4, released on May 19. It contains a fair number of fixes, some with apparent security implications, and some user-space API improvements for labeled networking. 2.6.27.24, released at the same time, contains a smaller (but still significant) list of fixes.
