A New Linux Kernel has been Released!
Linux v2.6.16 has been released according to the man himself… Linus Torvalds.
Linus says:
“Ok, it’s being mirrored out right now, the git tree should already be all there, the tar-file and patches are still uploading.
Not a lot of changes since -rc6, but there’s various random one-liners here and there (a number of Coverity bugs found, for example), and there are small MIPS and PowerPC updates.
Appended is the shortlog from 2.6.16-rc6, the full log (from 2.6.15) is on the web/ftp-sites.
It looks like both Fedora and SuSE end up using a kernel that is pretty close to this 2.6.16 release, so let’s all hope it’s good. Give it a good testing, please, Linus”
