[News] Linux 2.6.31 Reaches Third RC, Linus Speaks About "Not-so-evil Empire"

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

Linux 2.6.31-rc3

,----[ Quote ]
| As I mentioned last time, I really wish things would calm down. And to 
| _some_ degree they have. In other areas? Not so much.
| 
| That said, the single biggest patch here is actually a revert - a removal 
| of the Langwell USB OTG driver that wasn't ready and needed infrastructure 
| that isn't going to happen in 2.6.31.

Not-so-evil empire

,----[ Quote ]
| Not only did I decide to avoid Linksys this time, but the Netgear one made a 
| big deal about running open-source software, and I assume the "L" at the end 
| of the name means that the open-source in question is Linux. Sure, Linksys 
| had a Linux router too (with a penguin!) but let's face it, they screwed up,  
| so I'm giving the competition a go this time.

Linux 2.6.31-rc2

| It's out there. Larger than I'd like, but the bulk of the changes are due  to
| some late arch updates (MIPS, and powerpc documentation).

Kernel Log - Coming in 2.6.31 - Part 1: New Wi-Fi drivers and other
network-related changes

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux 2.6.31 will be IEEE 802.15.4 capable and will include a new Wi-Fi
| driver for Intel chips. Developers have also added support for recent Ralink
| Wi-Fi components and revamped the Rfkill framework. The Wi-fi stack and
| drivers are now better able to use newer power saving technologies.

Main development phase of Linux 2.6.31 completed

,----[ Quote ]
| Just over two weeks after the release of Linux 2.6.30, Linus Torvalds has
| released 2.6.31-rc1, the first release candidate of Linux 2.6.31. As
| usual, "rc1" completes the merge window during which the kernel hackers
| incorporate the majority of new features into the respective new version's
| main development branch. In the eight to eleven weeks that follow, the
| programmers tend to integrate only smaller changes to fix bugs in the newly
| merged code without causing any further problems. If the kernel hackers stick
| to their usual pace despite the summer and holiday season in the northern
| hemisphere, Linux 2.6.31 will probably be released in late August or early
| September.

TTM, Radeon KMS Support Goes Into Linux 2.6.31

,----[ Quote ]
| Last week a pull request went in to bring support in the Linux 2.6.31 kernel
| for Radeon kernel mode-setting and TTM memory management. This initial work
| was proposed to enter the Linux kernel as a staging driver and then be setup
| as a proper Linux kernel driver in the next release, Linux 2.6.32.
