Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 3.2-rc1, released on November 7. "Have fun, give it a good testing. There shouldn't be anything hugely scary in there, but there *is* a lot of stuff. The fact that 3.1 dragged out did mean that this ended up being one of the bigger merge windows, but I'm not feeling *too* nervous about it." There's a new code name - Saber-toothed squirrel - to go with it.

Stable updates: the 2.6.32.47 and 2.6.33.20 stable updates were released on November 7; both contain a long list of important fixes. 2.6.32.48 was released on November 8 to fix some build problems introduced in 2.6.32.47. 2.6.33 users should note that 2.6.33.20 is the final planned update for that kernel.
