Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 3.5-rc6, released on July 7. "There's mainly some btrfs and md stuff in here, with the normal driver changes, arm updates and some networking changes. And a smattering of random stuff (including docs etc). None of it looks very scary, it's all pretty small, and there aren't even all that many of those small changes." Linus also notes that the 3.6 merge window is likely to hit when a lot of developers are on vacation, so the 3.6 kernel might contain a relatively small set of changes.

Stable updates: 3.2.22 was released on July 5. The 3.2.23 update is in the review process as of this writing; it can be expected almost anytime.
