Kernel release status

[Posted October 19, 2011 by corbet]

The current development kernel is 3.1-rc10, released on October 17. "There really hasn't been all that much going on - the smallish MIPS updates are still the bulk of this -rc, and the rest is pretty much small driver fixes. Oh, and some last-minute fs (btrfs and xfs) fixes in there too." Expect the final 3.1 release sometime in the near future.

Stable updates: the 3.0.7 update was released on October 17 with a moderately-sized set of important fixes.
