New version of Linux Kernel available.


Linux Kernel 3.13 was released.


"The release got delayed by a week due to travels, but I suspect that'sjust as well. We had a few fixes come in, and while it wasn't a lot, I
think we're better off for it. At least I hope so - I'll be very
disappointed if any of them cause more problems than they fix..

Anyway, the patch from rc8 is fairly small, with mainly some small
arch updates (arm, mips, powerpc, s390, sparc, x86 all had some minor
changes, some of them due to a networking fix for the bpf jit). And
drivers (mainly gpu and networking). And some generic networking
fixes. The appended shortlog gives more details.

Anyway, with this, the merge window for 3.14 is obviously open."

The Linux kernel is the operating system kernel used by the Linux family of Unix-like operating systems. It is a prominent example of free and open source software.

The Linux kernel is released under the GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2) (plus some firmware images with various non-free licenses), and is developed by contributors worldwide. Day-to-day development discussions take place on theLinux kernel mailing list.

The Linux kernel was initially conceived and created in 1991 by Finnish computer science student Linus Torvalds. Linux rapidly accumulated developers and users who adapted code from other free software projects for use with the new operating system. The Linux kernel has received contributions from thousands of programmers. All Linux distributions released have been based upon the Linux kernel.
