Kernel release status

[Posted July 14, 2010 by jake]

The current development kernel is 2.6.35-rc5, released on July 12. "And I merged the ARM defconfig minimization thing, which isn't the final word on the whole defconfig issue, but since it removes almost 200 _thousand_ lines of ARM defconfig noise, it's a pretty big deal." We looked at the ARM defconfig issue a few weeks back, and Linus has pulled from Uwe Kleine-König's tree that provides a starting point for the defconfig cleanup. The short-form changelog is appended to the announcement, and all the details are available in the full changelog.

Five stable kernels were released on July 5: 2.6.27.48, 2.6.31.14, 2.6.32.16, 2.6.33.6, and 2.6.34.1.
