Kernel release status
Hmm. Odd release. Something like 40% of the patches are in DRM (mostly nouveau and radeon, both staging, so it's a bit less scary than it sounds. But there's a noticeable i915 component too). That's all pretty unusual." There's also a couple of new low-level drivers, support for LZO-compressed kernels, and the new generic list_sort() function. Full details can be found in the long-format changelog.
Stable updates: the only stable update in the last week is 2.6.31.11, released on
January 7 to fix a build error introduced with 2.6.31.10.
