| The purpose of this page is tracking and explaining the features added in every release, just like the [http://wiki.dragonflybsd.org/index.php/DragonFly_Status Dragonfly people did]. | A comprehensible changelog of the Linux kernel, this page shows a summary of the important changes being added in each Linux kernel release - support for new devices, features, filesystems, and subsystems as well as important internal changes. While this text is aimed to be readable (unlike the full changelog), its primary audience is those who know a fair amount about how a kernel operates. Other places to get news about the Linux kernel are [http://lwn.net/Kernel/ LWN kernel status], [http://lwn.net/Articles/driver-porting/ LWN driver porting guide], [http://lwn.net/Articles/2.6-kernel-api/ LWN list of API changes in 2.6], or [http://www.lkml.org www.lkml.org]. If you're going to add something here look first at LinuxChangesRules! |

| It'd be nice if kernel hackers would spend some minutes adding their stuff here, since linux has always lacked a "changelog" with long explanations of changes which people can understand. The one place where you can find a comparable changelog are the fabulous LWN kernel articles: http://lwn.net/Kernel/, or [the http://lwn.net/Articles/driver-porting/ driver porting guide] - but there's no reason why the kernel community should embrace and extend those efforts ;) | '''Older releases''' * Stable release: [http://wiki.kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_21 Linux 2.6.21], previous stable release: [http://wiki.kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_20 Linux 2.6.20], next release: [http://wiki.kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_22 2.6.22] (still not available); see Linux26Changes for other versions. |
