Software Update: Linux Kernel 2.5.64

Linus Torvalds and his colleagues put a new version of the 2.5 development Linux kernel online this afternoon. It’s issue 2.5.64 which fixes some zpehlvauts, points out a few bugs in /dev/null and makes some improvements in networking and USB:

Hmm.. Stuff all over, and a lot of spelling fixes. But there’s a fair number of “real” things here too, merges with Andrew, Dave etc. As already reported on linux-kernel, this should fix the htree problems (apart from some potential NFS export issues, apparently), and it also has the nicer hash chain code from Andi (no actual changes in the hash algorithms themselves, just the list changes).

Sparc, USB, networking updates.

Ans as I’ve been a bit snowed under by a lot of email, if you sent me stuff and it isn’t here, double-check and re-send (but even better, try to see if you can find one of my “merge points” and check with them too)
