We kregen een melding via onze meuksubmit dat er een nieuwe 2.5 development Linux Kernel uit is gebracht, die het nummer 2.5.71 heeft gekregen. Aangezien het changelog te lang is om compleet te plaatsen kun je deze hier nalezen. Linus had over deze release het volgende te melden:
I think I'll call this kernel the "sticky turtle", in honor of that historic "greased weasel" kernel, and as a comment on how sadly dependent I've become on the daily BK snapshots. It's been too long since 2.5.70.
I'll do better, I promise. While most developers happily use either the daily snapshots or the BK tree itself, not everybody does, and a lot of users want "real releases".
There's nothing hugely interesting here, but Al Viro ha s been cleaning up the tty layer, and Stephen Hemminger has been fixing up some network device alloc/free issues with the help of various people.
And obviously there are the normal usb/ pcmcia/ sound/ architecture updates. With driver models and networking thrown in as a bonus.
