The third major milestone release for the Linux kernel in 2013 is now available. Linux 3.10 The new release follows the previous Linux 3.9 kernel release by just over two months.

“In the bigger picture (ie since 3.9) this release has been pretty typical and not particularly prone to problems, despite my waffling about the exact release date,” Linux creator, Linus Torvalds wrote in release message. “As usual, the bulk patch-wise is all drivers (pretty much exactly two thirds), while the rest is evenly split between arch updates and “misc”. No major new subsystems this time around, although there are individual new features.”
