Thats right, more bugs fixed, other exciting stuff, check it out:
1) Random Alpha, PPC and sparc64 fixes (Richard, Cort and Eddie Dost).
2) Massive m68k driver changes. New drivers/video created, all m68k drivers moved there, other archs soon to follow (Jes Sorenson).
3) Updated XT driver (Alan Cox).
4) Numerous networking bug fixes, most imporantly:
a) Add proper packet length checking for ICMP errors (Andi). b) Things like bootpd should now work again and not crash the box (Alexey). c) Make packet queueing disciplines compile as a module as they should (Martin). d) Add support for configurable anonymous port ranges for UDP/TCP. (merged in by Andi, original patch by Philip Gladstone). e) Fix for sockmsg handling which allowed users to spam the kernel stack with large control messages (Andi).
NOTE: The new routing code now exposes a bug in pppd. A patch is needed, Andi will hopefully post the necessary patch here over the next day.
