Linux 3.10 Merge Windows Closes

Posted by samzenpus on from the finishing-it-up dept.

hypnosec writes "Linus Torvalds has released the Linux 3.10-rc1 kernel marking the closure of the 3.10 merge window. The Linux 3.10-rc1 is the second biggest rc release in years and the closure of the merge windows means that the features expected out of the Linux 3.9 successor are chalked out. "So this is the biggest -rc1 in the last several years (perhaps ever) at least as far as counting commits go," Linus notes in the release announcement."

    So Linux is finally merging with Windows... uh, that can't be right. I guess windows will now merge when you close them? No, that doesn't make sense either, so maybe it's a new Unity feature.

      No, no, it says quite clearly that they're only merging with Windows 3.1, which is barely Windows by any useful definition. Didn't you RTFA? Jeez, the nerve of some people...
