diegocg writes "Linux 3.3 has been released. The changes include the merge of kernel code from the Android project. There is also support for a new architecture (TI C6X), much improved balancing and the ability to restripe between different RAID profiles in Btrfs, and several network improvements: a virtual switch implementation (Open vSwitch) designed for virtualization scenarios, a faster and more scalable alternative to the 'bonding' driver, a configurable limit to the transmission queue of the network devices to fight bufferbloat, a network priority control group and per-cgroup TCP buffer limits. There are also many small features and new drivers and fixes. Here's the full changelog."

Last time I checked, KDE makes releases nearly every two months. Too-rapid releases with major API changes (such as the ACPI changes in 3.2) can cause rather annoying problems with third-party drivers.
@World, if you're going to use a three-part version number, please follow semver. Don't make API-breaking changes in a minor version.
