Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 2.6.37-rc5, released on December 6. "Well, no surprises this week. I think the bulk patch-wise are config patches (both ARM defconfig cleanups and some kconfig updates). And the rbd sysfs interface change stands out, but other than that it's mostly fairly small fixes all over." See the full changelog for all the details.

Linus thinks that the final 2.6.37 release will happen in early January. It might be possible to put it out a little sooner, but: "I don't really think anybody wants the merge window over the holidays."

Stable updates: there have been no stable updates in the last week. The 2.6.27.57, 2.6.32.27, and 2.6.36.2 (289 patches) updates are in the review process, with a release expected on or after December 9.
