Kernel Log: Stable kernels analysed, Linux without firmware, new graphics drivers

,----[ Quote ]
| The development of Linux 2.6.34 has started 
| and is causing heated discussions on the 
| LKML. LWN.net has analysed Linux 2.6.32.9 
| for security     fixes and found almost 
| twenty of them. Linux-Libre removes 
| proprietary files from the kernel, and new 
| graphics drivers for Radeon cards offer 
| numerous improvements.
| 
| A day after the release of Linux 2.6.33 in 
| the last week of February, Linus Torvalds 
| started merging the most important changes 
| for Linux 2.6.34. By last Friday, he had 
| integrated almost five thousand commits, 
| which has added almost two hundred thousand 
| lines of code to the kernel. Among the new 
| additions to the kernel are the drivers for 
| Apple's Magic Mouse, a Python scripting 
| engine for the tracing subsystem, and the 
| vhost_net Virtio server designed to reduce 
| overheads when exchanging data with guest 
| systems via Virtio.
