Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 3.0-rc7, released on July 11. "I think I said -rc6 might be the last -rc. I lied. Things have been pretty quiet, but there's enough new stuff here that I wanted to do another -rc, and we still have some issues with the RCU changes causing problems when RCU events happen before the scheduler has been fully initialized etc. So -rc7 is out there." See the full changelog for all the details.

Stable updates: the 2.6.32.43 and 2.6.33.16 stable kernel updates were released on July 13; 2.6.39.3 came out on July 8. All three contain the usual list of important fixes - quite a few of them, in the 2.6.39.3 case.
