Since it’s a long weekend in the US, and since I know you’ll all
be bored to tears without a new release to play with, I’m cutting
2.6.16-rc4 a few days early.
[ Actually, since -rc2 and -rc3 were both late, we’re still off
the normal “once a week” release schedule, but let’s ignore that
]
The bulk of it is some SCSI driver updates (have you ever seen a
diffstat without the qla driver taking the top spot? No? Neither
have I), with a few architectures thrown in, and a number of mostly
trivial fixes for good measure.
It is, as we say in the business, a “perfect” release. No bugs.
No sirree. But just to verify that, you should all immediately
download and test it. Since, quite frankly, what else do you have
to do over the weekend?
