Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 2.6.36-rc6, which was released on September 28. "Nothing here strikes me as particularly interesting. I'd like developers to take a look at Rafael's latest regression list (subject line of "2.6.36-rc5-git7: Reported regressions from 2.6.35" on lkml and various other mailing lists), as it's reasonably short. That said, for some reason I don't have that "warm and fuzzy" feeling, possibly because there's still been more commits in these -rc's than I'd really like at this stage (and no, the one extra day isn't enough to account for it)." The short-form changelog is in the announcement, or see the full changelog for all the details.

Stable updates: 2.6.32.23 and 2.6.35.6 were released on September 27. A typo fix that only affected Xen users necessitated the release of 2.6.35.7, which was done live on-stage at LinuxCon Japan on September 29.
