Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.development Subject: Kernel change summary 1.1.40 -> 1.1.41 Floppy driver extensively changed. Support added for two floppy disk controllers and FIFO bug fixing on ED disks. If a hard disk delay is needed, it's done more reliably. Seemingly gratuitious change to line discpline code (call put_char instead of write). Run a pty at "38400 bps" instead of "9600 bps". Serial ports have a temporary buffer for writing (saves memory when we need it most). Serial driver doesn't force driver to be stopped just because the ASYNC is closing. Serial driver keeps more error-tracking information. Sometimes we can get a serial xmit_cnt that is less than zero. If the irq is set to zero, the serial port doesn't generate interrupts. Fixed a serial race condition related to have a large amount to transmit. Added flag options for termios setting behavior. Catch a few missed read-only block device checks. Moved assembly language string functions to /usr/include/linux/i386/string.h from /usr/include/linux/string.h. Removed some assembly language from vsprintf.
