Linux 2.6.29-rc4 Kernel Released

Posted by Michael Larabel on February 08, 2009

A week and a half has gone by since the release of the 2.6.29-rc3 kernel, but the fourth release candidate for the Linux 2.6.29 kernel is now available. This release is targeted at just addressing regressions, with most of the work being done within Linux drivers and architecture updates. There are also a few fixes in place for the recently merged Btrfs file-system.

The Linux 2.6.29-rc4 kernel release announcement along with short change-log can be found at LKML.org.
