From Linus Torvalds <> Date Tue, 4 Jan 2011 17:15:45 -0800 Subject Linux 2.6.37 It's early January, and bleary-eyed people everywhere are getting over

their hangovers and wondering where they should send their merge

requests to.



And now they can. Because 2.6.37 is out, and the merge window for the

next release is thus open. Of course, as usual, I'll probably let

2.6.37 cool for a few days to try to encourage people to look at the

release rather than go all crazy with newly merged features in the

next tree.



All in all, not a lot happened the last week. The diffstat is

dominated by some VFS locking documentation and a few updates to fix

up some ASoC codex register cache changes. The rest is really pretty

small and boring. Full shortlog (from -rc8, naturally - the shortlog

for the whole 2.6.37 release is much too big) appended.



We did have another revert to fix hopefullythe last "blank screen"

regression on intel graphics.



As to the big picture, on the whole I think 2.6.37 has been fairly

calm. That will likely change with the merge window, as I'm looking

forward to getting the new RCU-based pathname lookup and similar

exciting features. So enjoy the calm sanity while it lasts.



Linus
