Linux 2.6.34 Kernel Is Likely On Its Last RC

Posted by Michael Larabel on May 10, 2010

Assuming there are no major last minute issues, the Linux 2.6.34 kernel will likely be released in the very near future. Last night Linus put out the Linux 2.6.34-rc7 release, which he hopes will be the last release candidate.

The Linux 2.6.34-rc7 just brings a variety of fixes from RCU to Microblaze updates, but the flow of patches has slowed down and there really isn't anything too exciting grazing the change-log.

The Linux 2.6.34-rc7 release announcement can be read at LKML.org. We continue to monitor the performance of the very latest Linux kernel code on a daily basis at kernel-tracker.phoromatic.com.
