The 2.6.36 kernel is out
Linus has released the 2.6.36 kernel with
only a small number of changes since the 2.6.36-rc8 prepatch. Headline
features in this release include the AppArmor
security module, the LIRC infrared controller driver subsystem, and the new
Tile architecture. The fanotify notification mechanism for anti-malware
applications was disabled at the last minute due to ABI concerns. See the KernelNewbies 2.6.36
page for lots of information.
He also noted that a two-week merge window starting on October 21 would run into the Kernel Summit. "So I'm going to hope that we could perhaps even do the 2.6.37 -rc1 release and close the merge window the Sunday before KS opens. Since 2.6.36 was longer than usual (at least it felt that way), I wouldn't mind having a 2.6.37 that is shorter than usual. But holler if this really screws up any plans. Ten days instead of two weeks? Let's see if it's even reasonably realistic." (The 2.6.36 development cycle was 80 days, incidentally; almost exactly average for the last few years).

In the kernelnewbies page for the 2.6.36 kernel there is a list of changes for filesystems, but there's nothing about btrfs there. I haven't even heard anything recently about the bugs found during Shishkin's review of the code. Were they solved? Also, looking at git log, it doesn't seem like there's been a lot of activity on this fs. Any news about it?

Should we expect a librefs soon? ;-)

We still have a large number of btrfs changes in the works, more are coming.
