Kernel release status [LWN.net]

The current 2.6 prepatch is 2.6.18-rc3, released on July 29. The patch rate is beginning to slow as this kernel stabilizes, so this prepatch adds a number of fixes but not much else. The long-format changelog has the details.

Well over 100 fixes have been merged into the mainline repository since -rc3 was released.

The current -mm tree is 2.6.18-rc2-mm1. Recent changes to -mm include a big x86-64 update, an NFS update, and lots of fixes.

Why is release of 2.4.33-rc3 not mentioned here (just a few paragraphs below)? I thought the rule was that 2.4 is reported here as well, just that most weeks simply have nothing to report on this fronts?

...because it was discussed just below, and I didn't see any reason to duplicate it.

A note of it's release in the "kernel status" pointing to an article below is not duplication, IMO.

New version of Grsecurity out

Also a new version of grsecurity is out since a few days: Version 2.1.9 for kernel 2.6.17.7.

This probably belong to the security related news, but there is no possibility to post a comment to this section.
