Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 3.1-rc5, released on September 4. The ongoing problems at kernel.org have caused this release to be hosted in an unusual place.

However, master.kernel.org is still down, and there really hasn't been a ton of development going on, so I considered just skipping a week. But hey, the whole point (well, *one* of the points) of distributed development is that no single place is really any different from any other, so since I did a github account for my divelog thing, why not see how well it holds up to me just putting my whole kernel repo there too?

For obvious reasons, the full changelog is not available on kernel.org at this time.

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

So, I have no idea what the kernel.org changelogs look(ed) like, but Github has a compare view feature that might be useful.
