So after a *very* quiet week after the 4.1-rc8 release, the final 4.1release is now out.I'm not sure if it was quiet because there really were no problems(knock wood), or if people decided to be considerate of my vacation,but whatever the reason, I appreciate it. It's not like the 4.1release cycle was particularly painful, and let's hope that the extraweek of letting it sit makes for a great release. Which wouldn't be abad thing, considering that 4.1 will also be a LTS release.Anyway, since rc8 we've had truly small changes, mainly some finaldriver fixups (HDA sound, drm, scsi target, crypto) and a couple ofsmall misc fixes. The appended shortlog is probably one of theshortest ones ever. I'm not complaining.And this obviously means that the merge window for 4.2 is open.                 Linus
