Written by Michael Larabel in Linux Kernel on 21 August 2008 at 10:19 AM EDT. Add A Comment

In the traditional fashion of Linus Torvalds, with a week having passed since the Linux 2.6.27-rc3 kernel release, the 2.6.27-rc4 has been pushed out. The Linux 2.6.27-rc4 kernel has a new USB driver and an old USB driver being replaced by a new libusb version, which makes up more than half of the changes. There's also an update to the XFS file-system, IA64 architecture, and various other changes. The change-log and release announcement for Linux 2.6.27-rc4 can be read at LKML.org.
