Changelog is here." omniru writes "Linux kernel 2.6.2 aka 'Feisty Dunnart' released," and adds some possibly useful information "about Dunnarts, in case you've never heard of them before. Changes include ACPI, Bluetooth, USB, XFS and many more improvements and fixes." gowdy suggests eager downloaders use a mirror.

Personally I'd prefer 99+% of the downloaders using the patch. This time is about 2M, and sometimes is smaller. No use in downloading full sources every time, and 2M is not exactly what BT is designed to distribute. Still, for the few first timers who need the first "big" tarball it would be a good return to the bandwidth pool.
