Kernel release status
[Posted January 28, 2009 by corbet]
The current 2.6 development kernel is 2.6.29-rc3, released on January 28. Some 430
changesets were merged since 2.6.29-rc2; most of these are fixes, but
there's also a reorganization of the filesystem Kconfig files, a couple of
drivers for the i.MX31 processor, a driver for TI OMAP High Speed
Multimedia card interfaces, and a driver for Freescale QUICC Engine USB
host controllers. The short-form changelog is in Linus's announcement; see
the
full changelog for lots of details.
The current stable 2.6 kernel is 2.6.28.2, released on January 24; the
2.6.27.13 update was released
at the same time. Both contain a fairly long list of fixes for a number of
serious problems.
