Kernel release status
The current 2.6 kernel is 2.6.1, which was released on January 8. The contents of
this kernel are pretty much as described last week: a whole lot of fixes
along with a few new features (MSI support, EFI support, a couple of
internal API changes, etc.). See the
long-format changelog for the details.
The latest patch from Andrew Morton, as of this writing, is 2.6.1-mm3. Recent additions to the -mm tree include some anticipatory I/O scheduler work ("This is the 114th patch against the anticipatory scheduler and we're nearly finished, honest"), improved CPU scheduler support for hyperthreaded processors, working modular IDE drivers, a number of big architecture updates, some SELinux updates, several NFS fixes, an ALSA update, the kthread abstraction (discussed here last week), and many other fixes and updates. The current 2.4 kernel is 2.4.24; Marcelo has released no 2.4.25 prepatches since 2.4.25-pre4 on January 6. (Log in to post comments)
