Kernel release status
[Posted October 24, 2012 by corbet]
The current development kernel is 3.7-rc2,
released on October 20. Linus comments:
Anyway, it's been roughly a week, and -rc2 is out. The most
noticeable thing tends to be fixing various fallout issues -
there's lots of patches to finish up (and fix the fallout) from the
UAPI include file reorganization, for example, but there's also
some changes to how module signing is done etc etc.
Stable updates: 3.0.47,
3.4.15, and
3.6.3 were released on October 21;
each contains another set of important fixes. Note that 3.4.15 and 3.6.3
also contain
an ext4 data corruption bug (as do their immediate predecessors and 3.5.7)
so waiting for the next update might be advisable. 3.0.47, instead, contains a
block subsystem patch that "could cause problems"; 3.0.48 was released on October 22 with a
revert.
Meanwhile, 3.2.32 was released on
October 18.
