Linus Torvalds heeft de laatste Linux development kernel uitgebracht. Deze heeft als rugnummer 2.5.75 gekregen en is hier neer te halen. In deze release is de ondersteuning van anticipatory I/O scheduler toegevoegd. Hieronder staan de release notes, het changelog is op deze pagina te lezen:
Ok. This is it. We (Andrew and me) are going to start a "pre-2.6" series, where getting patches in is going to be a lot harder. This is the last 2.5.x kernel, so take note.
The probably most notable thing here is the anticipatory scheduler, which has been in -mm for a long time, and was the major piece that hadn't been merged.
Some architecture updates: cris has been updated for 2.5, ia64 and arm26 updates etc. And various random (smallish) things.
