Linux 2.6.29-rc8 Kernel Released

Written by Michael Larabel in Linux Kernel on 13 March 2009 at 07:34 AM EDT. Add A Comment

In what will hopefully be the last test release, Linus has announced the Linux 2.6.29-rc8 kernel. This release brings a variety of fixes including a few Intel DRM tweaks, Blackfin architecture changes, a couple ALSA fixes, and a temporary fix for an Intel Atom bug. Overall there isn't anything too particularly interesting with this release candidate.

The release announcement for the Linux 2.6.29-rc8 kernel can be read at LKML.org.
