Kernel release status [LWN.net]

The current development kernel is 2.6.0-test11, otherwise known as "Beaver in Detox," which was released by Linus on November 26. This release contains a very small number of important fixes; the long-format changelog has the details.

The -test11 announcements says "And after that it will be up to Andrew to say how to go on from here." Even so, Linus's BitKeeper tree contains a handful of other patches which, presumably, will find their way into a release at some point.

The current stable kernel is 2.4.23, which was released by Marcelo on November 28. No changes were made between -rc5 and the final release.
