Sunday's kernel releases

Sunday's kernel releases

[Kernel] Posted Oct 28, 2012 20:03 UTC (Sun) by corbet

On the stable front, 3.0.49, 3.4.16, and 3.6.4 are out; each contains another set of important fixes. They do not include the (in-testing) ext4 corruption fix, but it seems increasingly clear that most users are not affected by that problem and will not care.

On the development side, Linus has released 3.7-rc3, noting that it's mostly a lot of small changes in a lot of places. But he has found a new problem to be concerned about: "And talking about the shortlog: christ people, some of you need to change your names. I'm used to there being multiple 'David's and 'Peter's etc, but there are three different Linus's in just this rc. People, people, I want to feel like the unique snowflake I am, not like just another anonymous guy in a crowd."
