Date: Sat, 29 Jul 2006 23:27:11 -0700 (PDT) From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...l.org> To: Linux Kernel Mailing List <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Linux v2.6.18-rc3 Ok, this missed a week (it should really have been -rc4, and we should have had a -rc3 a week ago), but the fact is, with a lot of people at the kernel summit and at OLS, it was so quiet for a week that there simply was no point. In fact, it's been pretty quiet since too, which I attribute to 2.6.18-rc2 just being so good, rather than the fact that it's summer and most people have probably been at the beach (or wished they were). Or maybe it was just me missing some emails due to being away at the kernel summit. But I'll obviously blame just about anything else before admitting my own incompetence, so I seriously doubt that was it. Anyway, shortlog appended, but there really hasn't been tons of stuff. Some network (and network driver) updates, infiniband, some scsi, and some fairly minor architecture updates (sparc, x86-64, arm).
