Linux Kernel 3.1 RC 2 Released

Posted by timothy on from the thank-you-linus dept.

sfcrazy writes "Linus Torvalds has announced the release of Linux kernel 3.1 rc2. He said '300+ commits for -rc2 is good, but please make me even happier for -rc3 by ONLY sending me real fixes. Think of it as "fairly late in the -rc series," because I really want to compensate for the merge window being fairly chaotic.'"

    Remember that he dropped the last number from the version, so the difference between 3.0 and 3.1 is the same as something like 2.6.24 to 2.6.25, not 2.4 to 2.6.

    I think what he said was that if he ever went to 3.0, it would mean he had gone insane and rewritten the entire thing in Visual Basic.
