Kernel release status
The current development kernel is 2.6.33-rc3, released on January 5.
Linus says:
The bulk of the patches are some SH defconfig updates
(40%), but ignoring those we have the normal 'half drivers, half everything
else' pattern. On the driver front, the perhaps most notable change is not
so much a code change, but the small change of marking the "new" firewire
stack as being the recommended one.
The short-form changelog is in the announcement, or see the full changelog for the details. 2.6.33-rc2 was released on December 24. It included a number of fixes, the Nouveau "ctxprogs" generator for nv40 chipsets, and a Silicon Motion sm712 video card driver; this release also saw the removal of the unused and abandoned distributed storage subsystem. Full details are in the full changelog. Stable updates: the 2.6.27.43, 2.6.31.10, and 2.6.32.3 stable kernel updates were released on January 6. All three contain a mixture of fixes; 2.6.27.43 is relatively small while the other two are large. Updates for 2.6.31 probably end with 2.6.31.11. (Log in to post comments)
