Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.14-rc3 Oct 1, 2005, 00 :15 UTC (1 Talkback[s]) (14143 reads) (Other stories by Linus Torvalds)
Ok, this may or may not be the last -rc before 2.6.14, but the point is
that we're getting closer.
The diffstat (not included here) tells the story: most of the changes are
just a couple of lines, with a few outliers: a new "cassini" network
driver, the mpt sas driver, some ip-conntrac work, and net/llc cleanups.
Oh, and sparc updates and some ppc tlb and smu work.
I think the shortlog is actually pretty descriptive, so without further
ado, here it is.
