Linus Torvalds heeft de vierde betaversie van Linux kernel 2.6.0 uitgebracht. In deze release vinden we updates voor IA64-systemen, nieuwe video capture-drivers en verbeterde SCSI-stuurprogramma's. Daarnaast hebben de AGP- en ACPI-drivers een update mogen krijgen. Het changelog is hier te lezen. De Linux-goeroe laat het volgende weten:
There should be a lot of compile fixes here, along with updates for ia64, nand the (painful) move of the 'name' entry out of the "struct device" that helps avoid unnecessary memory waste.
It's a lot of small stuff all over: nothing really stands out in diffstat,
except the big update of the Zoran video capture driver, and the blkmtd driver - both updated from their respective development trees (and the ips scsi driver, but that was due to massive whitespace fixing).
Normal merges with Andrew and arch maintainers (x86-64, ia64, sparc64, arm), and AGP updates (notably the merging of the ATI IGP). And network driver updates, ACPI and power management infrastructure.
