Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.1

Kernel.org
Mirrors

Full
Changelog (-rc3)

Ok, the diffs from -rc3 are minimal, most noticeably the (very
_very_ hard to trigger, but nasty if you ever did) fork() race that
Ingo found.

I’m going to be in Australia (and on airplanes) for the week,
but we’re all in the capable hands of Andrew, so why worry? The
fact that I’m fleeing the country should in no way be construed as
anything sinister at all, no siree. Nope. I’m innocent, and nobody
saw me do it.

The full changelog is getting uploaded right now along with the
release, and the BK trees have already been pushed.

Up up and away,

Linus
