Linux kernel advances
,----[ Quote ]
| At the conclusion of 2008, the 2.6.28 kernel surfaced. Subsequently, the
| merge window for the next release—2.6.29—opened. As the Linux kernel uses a
| distributed development process, it's not always clear what's coming (or will
| be integrated) into a given kernel release, but the last two have been
| interesting from both a short- and long-term perspective. One interesting
| milestone for 2.6.28 is that it's the first time Linux has exceeded 10
| million lines of source code (see Figure 1, which uses source line count data
| from Heise Online).

| NVIDIA 180.37.04 driver was released. Most notably what's introduced with
| this driver is support for OpenGL 3.1, which was just publicly announced by
| the Khronos Group a few hours ago. This driver is based upon the 180.3x
| release stream does not incorporate some of the features found in the newer
| 185.xx series
