I cannot answer questions about Linux -- I merely summarize the kernel
patches after reading them. I try to make them useful to everyone,
but kernel hackers should take them with a grain of salt and read the
patches themselves. The patch file is patch67.gz
- This summary was written by Linus:
- Alpha boot-stuff and a few header files (some of which are just stubs
for now). No, it won't even compile yet, I'm doing my work on
another source tree..
- Screendumping support for text-mode to make it possible to save the
attributes of a dump as well (and to set them).
- Printer driver does the correct IO region tests and allocations, so if
the IO addresses overlap another card, at least the kernel
will not use them at the same time.
- Apricot net-driver should compile again.
- "rw_bugfix" defined by default for ne2000 clones.
- Updated PLIP driver - reportedly much lower latency.
- IN2000 driver should compile, but is reportedly not very stable.
- Various speeling errors fixed (again).
- Photocd bugfix, but photocd support not enabled right now due to some
problem-reports (which may actually have gone away now, but...)
- ISO-fs directory handling bug fixed.
- ISO-fs read-ahead code fixed.
- File locking made dynamic (duh, as if anybody really cared).
- Better error codes from the mount() system calls.
- UDP get_socket() "fix" removed.
