Kernel release status
The current development kernel is 2.6.39-rc5, released on April 26. According to
Linus:
We have slightly fewer commits than in -rc4, which is good. At the
same time, I have to berate some people for merging some dubious
regression fixes. Sadly, the 'people' I have to berate is me,
because -rc5 contains what technically _is_ a regression, but it's
a performance thing, and it's a bit scary. It's the patches from
Andi (with some editing by Eric) to make it possible to do the
whole RCU pathname walk even if you have SElinux enabled.
See the full changelog for all the details. Stable updates: the 2.6.38.4 update was released on April 21; 2.6.32.39 and 2.6.33.12 followed one day later; all contain another long list of important fixes. The 2.6.27.59 and 2.6.35.13 updates are in the review process as of this writing; they can be expected on or after April 28. (Log in to post comments)
