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:
diff --git a/Documentation/SubmittingPatches b/Documentation/SubmittingPatches
--- a/Documentation/SubmittingPatches
+++ b/Documentation/SubmittingPatches

then you just add a line saying
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <<A HREF="mailto:random@developer.org">random@developer.org>
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.
