Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 3.0-rc6, released on July 4. It has a new Intel isci driver which adds a significant chunk of code, but, otherwise it's basic fixes. "It's getting to the point where I'm thinking I should just release 3.0, because it's been pretty quiet, and the fixes haven't been earth-shakingly exciting." See the full changelog for all the details.

Stable updates: no stable updates have been released in the last week, and none are in the review process as of this writing.

What the heck is isci? I tried googling it and looking on wikipedia but I still don't know.

isci can be
  • a very common misspelling of iSCSI :-) or
  • the SAS controller in Intel's C600 series chipset.
