Linus Torvalds officially released the
Linux 3.3 kernel on Sunday afternoon.
The Linux 3.3 kernel release announcement can be found on
LKML.org. This release is coming one week late due to
the surprise -rc7 release.
As far as the top features are concerned for Linux 3.3, read the aptly-named
Top Features Of The Linux 3.3 Kernel. There's also a long list of changes for this new kernel release on
KernelNewbies.org.
With 3.3 out the door, the merge window for the
Linux 3.4 kernel is now open. There's already a lot building up for Linux 3.4 with
many open-source graphics changes,
more Android merging,
Btrfs LZ4 support, and lots of other work that will be talked about on Phoronix in the next few weeks.
