Linux 2.6.30-rc2
,----[ Quote ]
| New 'microblaze' architecture, a somewhat late 'input' layer merge, a new
| intel virtual networking driver and some firmware loading updates. And
| mn10300 and frv moved their header files from include/asm to arch. That
| accounts for the bulk, but shouldn't affect anybody.

GCC 4.4.0 Release Candidate Is Now Out There
,----[ Quote ]
| If you are into compilers and have not already tried out the latest bits from
| GCC 4.4, you may want to give the GCC 4.4.0 Release Candidate 1 a whirl. GCC
| 4.4.0 RC1 was tar'ed up yesterday and is now ready for testing.
|
| GCC 4.4 has a number of benefits over GCC 4.3 in all areas. One of the GCC
| 4.4 features that excite us is the merging of the Graphite framework, which
| will ultimately provide automatic parallelization support. Also on the
| multi-threaded front, GCC 4.4 supports version 3.0 of OpenMP. While still
| experimental, in this GNU Compiler Collection update there is also better
| support for the C++0x language.
