Kernel release status

[Posted April 26, 2006 by corbet]

The current stable 2.6 kernel is 2.6.16.11, released on April 24. It is a single-patch release containing a fix for a CIFS filesystem vulnerability. 2.6.16.10, also released on the 24th, contained a larger set of important fixes.

The current 2.6 prepatch remains 2.6.17-rc2; there have been no -rc releases over the last week. Patches are accumulating in the mainline git repository, however; they are mostly fixes, but there is also trusted platform module (TPM) 1.2 support, multiple page size support for the PA-RISC architecture, and the vmsplice() system call (see below).

There have been no -mm tree releases over the last week.

Small typo, the current stable should be 2.6.16.11. That's also what the release link points to.
