Not a lot happened this last week, which is just how I like it. And asexpected, most of the pull requests I got were for the 5.5 mergewindow, which I'll obviously start working through tomorrow.What little there is here is mostly some networking updates (mix ofnetwork drivers and core networking), and some minor GPU driverupdates. Other than that it's a small collection of random otherthings all over. The appended shortlog is small enough that you mightas well just scroll through it.Anyway, this obviously opens the merge window for 5.5. It's not idealtiming with Thanksgiving week coming up, but it hopefully shouldn't betoo much of an issue. If I fall behind (not because I'm all that bigof a fan of the indiscriminate and relentless turkey-killing holiday)it's because we've got all three kids back for the holiday, and Imight push some ot the merging to the second week as a result. We'llsee what happens.Go do the testing thing.               Linus
