Linux-2.6.12 released
Linus has released the 2.6.12 kernel, though no announcement has shown up yet. Quite a few fixes - but no substantial changes - have been merged since the last release candidate.
For those who might not remember back to last March: 2.6.12 contains, among other things, a driver for the "trusted computing" (TPM) chip found in Thinkpads (and elsewhere), SuperHyway bus support, a multilevel security implementation for SELinux, device mapper multipath support, the address space randomization patches, a restored Philips webcam driver (still lacking full functionality), full I/O barrier support for serial ATA drives, resource limits which can be used to allow unprivileged users to run tasks with realtime priority, and a huge pile of fixes.
See the long-format changelog for the details back to 2.6.12-rc2.

Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
