Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.12Jun 18, 2005, 13:00 (8 Talkback[s])(Other stories by Linus Torvalds) As some people may have noticed already, 2.6.12 is out there now. The full ChangeLog ended up missing, because I only have the history from 2.6.12-rc2 in my git archives, but if you want to, you can puzzle it together by taking the 2.6.12 changelog and merging it with the -rc1 and -rc2 logs in the testing directory. The file that says "ChangeLog-2.6.12" only contains the stuff from -rc2 onward. Included here in the email are the changes since -rc6, and as you can see from the appended diffstat, most of the things are pretty small (ie it looks like a long list, and then you look at the diffstat and realize that most of the changes end up being just a line or two). One of the least important changes is still worth pointing out: it was discussed earlier on the kernel mailing list in another thread, but maybe people didn't notice it: the sign-off procedure was clarified to make it clear that the person signing off understands that the project - and thus the patch and the sign-off itself, of course - is public and will be archived. This may sound silly and obvious - and it is - but it makes people more comfortable about the fact that we obviously save identifying information in the sign-off (that's the whole point), and in general people also submit things like their own email addresses in CREDITS files etc, and so nobody should be expecting any of that to be kept confidential. I don't think anybody did, of course, but hey, this way it's explicit. So part of the new stuff is this patch:

just so that people are aware of this. Btw, in case anybody ends up wondering about what the actual patches are, if you're a git user (or, more likely, not quite a user yet, but rather wondering what you can do with git), you can start off with doing git-whatchanged -p v2.6.12-rc6..v2.6.12 and it will do exactly what you think it migth do - it shows every commit between -rc6 and the final 2.6.12 release as a patch ("-p") with the associated commit message.
