Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 3.9-rc1, released on March 3. Linus said: "I don't know if it's just me, but this merge window had more 'Uhhuh' moments than I'm used to. I stopped merging a couple of times, because we had bugs that looked really scary, but thankfully each time people were on them like paparazzi on Justin Bieber." See the article below for a summary of the final changes merged during the 3.9 merge window.

Stable updates: 3.8.1, 3.4.34, and 3.0.67 were released on February 28; 3.8.2, 3.4.35, and 3.0.68 followed on March 4. The 3.2.40 update was released on March 6. All of them contain the usual mix of important fixes. Also released on March 4 was 3.5.7.7.
