It’s a day late – I was just too hungry tired after the DM class
to release it yesterday. But there it is, all fresh and new.

And a few thank-yous are in order: things are looking good. The
diffstat looks reasonable (the one big addition is in
Documentation), and while I could have wished for even less churn,
I’m pretty happy.

The rc2 to rc3 shortlog is appended, and I think it mostly looks
pretty reasonable and short. Which is not to say that I’m not
hoping that things will calm down even further in the later rc’s,
but at least so far I don’t think I’ve had much reason to
complain.

Another thank-you goes to Intel: this release has been full of
travel (happily now all completed), first due to a week of vacation
during the merge window, and then for my DM class weekends and
LinuxCon. And the new laptop made it much less painful to do even
“allmodconfig” builds while on the road.

So go out and test.
