[News] Another Release Candidate For/Towards Linux 2008.9

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Linux v2.6.27-rc1

,----[ Quote ]
| It's two weeks (and one day), and the merge window is over.
| 
| Finally. I don't know why, but this one really did feel pretty dang busy. 
| And the size of the -rc1 patch bears that out - at 12MB, it's about 50% 
| bigger than 26-rc1 (but not that much bigger than 24/25-rc1, so it's not 
| like it's anything unheard of).

Kernel Log: New Stable kernel, DRI2 postponed, Xgl removed from X.org

,----[ Quote ]
| Greg Kroah-Hartman has, as expected released stable Linux versions 2.6.25.14 
| and 2.6.26.1. Both bring minor corrections and enhancements in various areas 
| of the kernel. The ath5k driver, for example, doesn't use MSI (Message Signal 
| Interrupts) now and the uvcvideo web cam driver works with Medion Akoya mini 
| E1210 netbook camera.

Kernel Log: No unstable series; Linux 2008.7; dealing with security fixes

,----[ Quote ]
| He does not want to simply drop the 2.6 prefix – he and others do not like
| such high version numbers. That is why he is considering a model that roughly
| corresponds to the year and month – Linux 2.6.26 might then be called 2008.7.

Kernel Release Numbering Redux

,----[ Quote ]
| For many years, each Linux kernel release was assigned a series of three
| numbers, X.Y.Z, with an even Y indicating a "stable" release, and an odd Y
| indicating an "unstable" development release. Z was incremented for each
| individual kernel release.
