Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 3.8-rc2, released on January 2. Linus says: "It's a new year, people are getting back to work, and trying desperately to forget the over-eating that has been going on for the last two weeks. And hey, to celebrate, here's -rc2!" Perhaps as a result of the aforementioned over-eating, this patch is relatively small; things might be expected to pick up a bit by the time -rc3 comes out.

The 3.8-rc1 release happened on December 21. The most significant changes pulled between the last edition's summary and the closing of the merge window include the f2fs filesystem, and a driver for Dialog Semiconductor DA9055 watchdog devices.

Stable updates: no stable updates have been released since December 17. The 3.2.36 update is in the review process as of this writing; its release can be expected at any time.
