Kernel release status

[Posted February 10, 2010 by jake]

The current development kernel is 2.6.33-rc7 released on February 6. "I have to admit that I wish we had way fewer regressions listed by this time... But we've certainly fixed a few things, and it's been a week, so here's -rc7. I wish I could say that it's the last -rc, but I strongly doubt that, and we'll almost certainly have at least one more." See the full changelog for the details.

Stable updates: 2.6.32.8 was released on February 9. "Sorry for the delay in releasing it, but there were a few crashes that people had reported, combined with verifying that a security problem really was fixed and backported properly, along with travel to and from FOSDEM, all [of] which caused delays." 2.6.27.45 remains as the latest stable update for 2.6.27.
