The 3.1 kernel is out

[Posted October 24, 2011 by corbet]

Linus released the 3.1 kernel while sitting in the security session at the Kernel Summit; he has not yet gotten around to sending an announcement, though. Headline features in this somewhat delayed release include improved Xen memory management, enhancements to process tracing (the PTRACE_SEIZE command), enhancements to lseek() to ease the finding of holes in files, OpenRISC architecture support, and more.

Update: the announcement from Linus is out now.

... and www.kernel.org is still living in the past.

I asked for a link to tarballs in #linux on Freenode and someone snapped that I should just use git. Anyways, I found 3.1 tarballs on the kernel.org ftp:

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/

Hope that helps...

We'll fix kernel.org (or if we can't fix the scripts, then at least remove the misleading information) hopefully this evening. Unfortunately the network at the Kernel Summit is pretty poor and it is making it hard to work on kernel.org while the sessions are going on.
