Linux 2.6.28-rc5

| Bulk-wise, that's the biggest  part if you see it as a traditional diff 
| (because of the delete/create  pairs), but with rename detection on the Doc 
| patches are only about 10% of the changes.

Kernel Log: New graphics drivers and Linux versions: Dom0 patches for 2.6.29?

,----[ Quote ]
| AMD has released version 8.11 of its proprietary Linux graphics drivers, also 
| known as fglrx or Catalyst, for x86-32 and x86-64. Under 'new features', the 
| release notesPDF list support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4.7, 
| improved diagnostics for CrossFireX, and image scaling enhancements and 
| adjustment for the (HD)TV formats 480i/p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. AMD does not 
| highlight what are certainly the most important new features in these 
| drivers, support for X.org 7.4 and the ABI of the 1.5 series X server. Six 
| months after the appearance of the first distributions of X Server  1.5 
| pre-release versions, AMD's proprietary graphics drivers can finally be used.

A pile of stable kernel updates

,----[ Quote ]
| The 2.6.25.19, 2.6.26.7, and 2.6.27.3 stable kernel updates are out; each
| contains about a dozen important fixes. It seems that 2.6.25 and 2.6.26 will
| probably only get one more stable update after this, so users of mainline
| kernels are being encouraged to move forward to 2.6.27.
