Posted by Michael Larabel on July 13, 2008
We were up to nine release candidates with the 2.6.26 branch but today the Linux 2.6.26 kernel has been released. Since 2.6.26-rc9 were mostly documentation updates and a few regression fixes. The Linux 2.6.26 kernel x86 PAT, PCI Express Active State Power Management, KVM support for IA64 and PPC architectures, basic para-virtualization support for KVM, a UVC web-camera driver, OLPC support, new hardware drivers, and more. This kernel also brings updated ATI and Intel DRM, which includes the initial R500 3D support. A nice list of the changes for the Linux 2.6.26 kernel can be found at KernelNewbies.org. The Linux 2.6.26 kernel announcement can be read at LKML.org.
