"The kernel will also in future make better use of energy saving features in the latest Wi-Fi hardware and Oracle is contributing code for the Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) cluster protocol.

"As with previous kernel versions, the recent release of the second pre-release version of Linux 2.6.30 saw a good few major patches which had missed the merge window find their way into the main Linux development tree. Further major changes are rare in the second phase of the development cycle, so that the second pre-release version should now contain all the major changes for the next major kernel revision."
