Op de Linux Kernel Mailing List heeft Linus Torvalds de tweede releasecandiddate van de Linux 3.0-kernel aangekondigd. De kernel bevat de nodige verbeteringen ten opzichte van de vorige uitgave. Zo hebben btrfs, ubifs en driverupdates weer behoorlijk aandacht gekregen van de verschillende ontwikkelaars. De aankondiging op de mailinglijst ziet er als volgt uit:
Linux 3.0-rc2
You all know the drill by now: another week, another -rc.
It's been reasonably quiet, although the btrfs update is bigger than I was hoping for. Other than that, it's mostly driver fixes, some ubifs updates too, and a few reverts for the early regressions.
But -rc2 is already small enough that it easily fits as an appended shortlog, and hopefully things will stay calm. Of course, part of that may be due to other people also havin been busy traveling, so let's see (and hope for the best). And I haven't been super-eager to pull, so there is a couple of pending requests still in my mail queue.
