It's Sunday, but a few hours earlier than usual, since I'm on the eastcoast, three hours ahead of my normal release schedule.It's a slightly bigger rc2 than I would have wished for, but thisearly in the release process I don't worry about it. The appendedshortlog gives the details, it's fixes all over the place -architectures, drivers, filesystems, networking, core kernel.One thing I'll point out is that I'm trying to get some kernel ASLRleaks plugged, and as part of that we now hash any pointers printed by"%p' by default. That won't affect a lot of people, but where it is adebugging problem (rather than leaking interesting kernel pointers),we will have to fix things up.It can be a small annoyance, but the alternatives (trying to actuallyfind all the cases where we might be leaking) were worse. But let'ssee if anybody even notices - a lot of the pointer printouts are staledebug information from when some driver was originally written, andaren't actually really interesting.There will probably be some more leak fixes during this rc process,we'll see how that all sorts out.
