| |
Ok, I'm trying it again. A code freeze of Linux for the upcoming 2.0 release. The previous freeze thawed up a lot, and then we had the ppp problems that only now seem to have been resolved, so that I can freeze again...
Anyway, Linux-1.3.88 is now available on ftp.funet.fi and ftp.cs.helsinki.fi, and other mirrors will pick them up within hours (admittedly not sunsite, but others have been discussed on this list).
1.3.88 fixes a few silly problems with 87 (the missing ACK thing and the send side timer problems), and I have a few responses saying it's finally ok. I hope it's ok for everybody now..
This kernel also has a few more spelling fixes, and a iso9660 filesystem bugfix.
The code-freeze means that I once more enter "bug-fixes only" mode, and don't even try to send me new features (I'd hate to fall for them ;-). There are obviously things we could do better (write-side NFS caching etc), but believe it or not, there is life after 2.0 too..
Ok, send me reports, and hopefully we have the worst network problems behind us now..
Linus
