Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.2 aka “Feisty Dunnart”

Kernel.org
Mirrors

Full
Changelog

I just pushed out the BK trees, and the tar-ball/patches are
going out as I write this, for Linux 2.6.2. The honor of naming it
goes to Gernot Heiser, for reasons that are largely alcoholic, I
suspect. Good job!

The changelog from -rc3 mainly contains some ppc64 updates, see
the summary for more details on some of the other changes.
