Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.14-rc2 Sep 20, 2005, 04 :45 UTC (2 Talkback[s]) (8713 reads) (Other stories by Linus Torvalds)
Ahoy landlubbers!
Here be t' Linux-2.6.14-rc2 release.
Not a whole lot o' excitement, ye scurvy dogs, but it has t' ALSA, LSM,
audit and watchdog merges that be missed from -rc1, and a merge series
with Andrew. But on t' whole pretty reasonable--you can see t' details in
the shortlog (appended).
Arrr!
