Linux 2.6 Kernel Stability Freeze

Posted by simoniker on from the os-musical-chairs dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Linux Creator Linus Torvalds released the 2.6.0-test7 Linux development kernel today and declared a "stability freeze". It has been made quite clear that from this point only "strictly necessary stuff" will be accepted, clearing the way for an official 2.6.0 release sooner than later... possibly at the end of this month."

    I wrote a speaker bracelet module. Alas, it's been rejected because I turned it in too late. It was really cool though.
