Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 2.6.32-rc1, released by Linus on September 27. Note that Linus fat-fingered the version number in the makefile, so this kernel thinks it's -rc2. See the separate article, below, for the list of significant changes added at the end of the merge window.

The current stable kernel is 2.6.31.1, released (along with 2.6.27.35 and 2.6.30.8) on September 24. These updates contain a number of important fixes, some of which are security-related.
