Kernel release status
So I'm pretty sure this is the last -rc, and the final 2.6.24 will probably be out next weekend or so. But in the meantime, let's give this a final shakedown, and see if we can fix any last regressions still." See the long-format changelog for the details.
As of this writing, a very small number of fixes has been merged post-rc8.
There have been no -mm releases over the last week.
The current stable 2.6 kernel is 2.6.23.14, released (along with 2.6.22.16) on January 14. These releases contain a single patch: a fix for the filesystem security vulnerability discussed on this week's Security Page.
For older kernels: 2.6.16.58 was released on
January 16 with several fixes.
