Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 2.6.32-rc5, released by Linus on October 15. "90% of the bulk of the changes since -rc4 are in drivers, with most of it coming from two new network drivers (stmmac and vmxnet3). But apart from the new drivers, there's almost 300 commits in there, and most of them are pretty spread our random one- (or few-) liners: arch updates (arm, powerpc, x86), some filesystem updates (mainly btrfs), and some documentation, networking etc." The short-form changelog is in the announcement, or see the full changelog for the details.

Due to the distraction of the kernel summit, no changes have been merged into the mainline repository since the 2.6.32-rc5 release.

There have been no stable updates over the last week. The 2.6.31.5 update is in the review process as of this writing; it may be available by the time you read this.
