Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 2.6.36-rc4, released on September 12. "Nothing in particular stands out, although there's been more noise in GPU development than I'd like at this point (both Radeon and i915). But that should hopefully all be just stabilization. There's also been some PCIe/firmware interaction changes, that should fix way more issues than it breaks." The short-form changelog is in the announcement, or see the full changelog for all the details.

Stable updates: the 2.6.34.7 update was released on September 13. "It fixes a single bug that a number of users have reported in that their USB devices no longer work properly. Sometimes it causes lost keystrokes, and other times X refuses to boot as it can not communicate properly with some tablet devices."
