Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.15-rc5 Dec 5, 2005, 15 :15 UTC (0 Talkback[s]) (7955 reads) (Other stories by Linus Torvalds)
There's a rc5 out there now, largely because I'm going to be out of email
contact for the next week, and while I wish people were religiously
testing all the nightly snapshots, the fact is, you guys don't.
So making the current state available as an -rc makes sense, even though
not a lot has changed since -rc4.
That said, if you didn't test -rc4 either--shame on you, and please
do test -rc5.
The diffstat says "4562 insertions(+), 4997 deletions(-)" since -rc4, but
the bulk of those (by far) are the mips defconfig updates (and the
removal of the sk98lin-specific hw checksum verifier, which the networking
layer is better at anyway).
So pretty much all of this is various one-liners etc, many of them in V4L.
Shortlog and diffstat appended.
