“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.”
