2.6.24-rc2, "Snooze City"

"'Yeah, don't remind me--it's late,' began Linus Torvalds, announcing the second 2.6.24 release candidate, 'there was nothing in particular holding this thing up, I just basically just forgot to cut a -rc2 release last week.' He went on to list some of the changes:

"'There's not a lot of hugely exciting stuff here. Some arch updates: MIPS, arm, blackfin, x86, sparc[64], sh, s390... Also various driver updates: libata, IDE, networking, DVB... And some more fallout from the scatter-gather changes. Some scheduler cleanups, and also fixing the CPU usage statistics that got scrogged at some point...'"
