Линус Торвальдс объявил сегодня о выходе Linux 2.6.11-rc5. В письме он отметил, что надеялся на то, что rc4 станет последним перед финальным релизом, однако обнаруженные проблемы конфликтов ресурсов на ноутбуках, различные проблемы с TLB на ppc, переполнения буфера в сетевой подсистеме и некоторые другие проблемы потребовали выпуска еще одного промежуточного -rc5.
Впрочем, финальный релиз последует очень скоро. В rc5 вошли небольшие, но важные изменения, самое большое из которых - новый драйвер SATA.
Скачать патчи можно с kernel.org, однако, сейчас там происходит что-то неправильное, патч с 2.6.10 весит 14 байт, а rc4-rc5 больше 4 МБ. Надеюсь, скоро это исправят и можно будет нормально скачать.
Changelog следует далее.
