Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 3.9-rc4, released on March 23. Linus says: "Another week, another -rc. And things haven't calmed down, meaning that the nice small and calm -rc2 was definitely the outlier so far. … While it hasn't been as calm as I'd like things to be, it's not like things have been hugely exciting either. Most of this really is pretty trivial. It's all over, with the bulk in drivers (drm, md, net, mtd, usb, sound), but also some arch updates (powerpc, arm, sparc, x86) and filesystem work (cifs, ext4)."

Stable updates: 3.2.42 was released on March 27.

The 3.8.5, 3.4.38, and 3.0.71 updates are in the review cycle as of this writing; they can be expected on or after March 28. Also in review are 3.5.7.9 and 3.6.11.1 (a new, short-term series meant to support the 3.6-based realtime stable kernels).
