Kernel release status
It's a fairly normal release - neither unusually big or unusually small. The statistics look fairly normal too, with drivers being a bit over 70% of the bulk (the big driver areas being gpu, networking, sound, staging, fbdev, but its all over)."
Stable updates:
4.3.4,
4.1.16,
3.14.59, and
3.10.95 were all released on
January 23.
The
4.4.1,
4.3.5,
4.1.17,
3.14.60, and
3.10.96 updates are in the review process as of
this writing; they can be expected on or after January 29. Greg
Kroah-Hartman warns:
"There are still a lot of pending stable patches in the queue, well
over 400 of them to be specific, so some of your favorite/pet
patches might not be included in these releases.
"
One should thus expect more stable updates in the near future.
