Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 2.6.35-rc6, released on July 22. Linus says:

I actually hope/think that this is going to be the last -rc. Things have been pretty quiet, and while this -rc has more commits than -rc5 had, it's not by a large amount, nor does it look scary to me. So there doesn't seem to be any point in dragging out the release any more, unless we find something new that calls for it.

It contains mostly fixes, but also a rename of the logical memory block (LMB) subsystem to "memblock." See the announcement for the short-form changelog, or the full changelog for all the details.

There have been no stable updates over the last week.
