Gisteren is de tweede Linux test-kernel uitgebracht van de 2.6.0-branche. In deze nieuwe release is bijvoorbeeld een nieuwe sounddriver te vinden en zijn er kleine veranderingen aangebracht in de code van USB-, ISDN-, ACPI- en netwerk-drivers. De volledige lijst met veranderingen is op deze pagina te lezen. Hieronder staat de samenvatting van Linus Torvalds:
Lots of small updates and fixes all over the map (diffstat shows a flat profile, except for the DVB merge, the new wl3501 driver, and the new sound drivers from Alan).
An example: Alexander Atanasov fixed an UP APIC handling bug, which in turn explained the IDE problems with irq disabling, and allowed IDE to be fixed up. Yah!
Alan started doing forward-porting of 2.4.x driver updates, and Andrew is merging the fixes from his tree. And janitorial cleanups.
Various architectures are congealing: sparc64, ia64, alpha, m68k, ppc32, v850 and s390 all had updates.
Network (and network driver) fixes, ISDN slowly getting there, ACPI, DVB and USB updates.
And a number of people worked on (and fixed) SCSI queue handling issues with the anticipatory scheduler.
