Kernel release status
The current development kernel is 2.6.0-test2, which was released by Linus on July 27.
It contains a lot of fixes, of course, including a bunch of forward-ported
2.4 patches, numerous architecture updates, some IDE fixes, an option to
remove I/O schedulers from the kernel entirely, and a new local_t
type for CPU-local data. See the long-format
changelog for the details.

As of this writing, there are no patches beyond -test2 in Linus's BitKeeper repository.
The current stable kernel is 2.4.21. Marcelo has been busy with the prepatches, however; 2.4.22-pre8 was released on July 24, and 2.4.22-pre9 on July 29. Both patches limit themselves to fixes.
