Kernel release status
The current 2.6 prepatch is 2.6.5-rc2, which was announced by Linus on March 19.
This prepatch includes a USB update, some new SELinux features,
a reiserfs update, an ALSA update, a set of hotplug CPU patches, and lots
of fixes; see the long-format changelog for
the details.
Linus's BitKeeper tree contains, as of this writing, some architecture updates, a watchdog driver update, and various fixes. The current tree from Andrew Morton is 2.6.5-rc2-mm2. Recent additions to the -mm tree include journaling of ext3 quota files, a new fcntl() file_operations method (see below), a new non-executable stack patch, and lots of fixes. The current 2.4 prepatch is 2.4.26-pre5, which was released on March 20. This one includes some SCSI fixes, a USB update, some ACPI work, and a small set of fixes. This is, says Marcelo, probably the last prepatch before the 2.4.26 release candidates start. The current neolithic kernel prepatch is 2.2.27-pre1; Marc-Christian Petersen started the 2.2.27 process on March 24. This prepatch contains about a dozen important fixes. (Log in to post comments)
