It's a few days late, but I was waiting for some updates for some of the most annoying regressions until releasing it, so the end result is hopefully more useful as a result.
In particular, the block layer changes should hopefully have sorted themselves out, and CD burning etc hopefully works for people again. Same goes for the the scheduler regressions, and a number of annoying boot-time problems.
In short, if you had any issues, please do test, and make sure that the regression list gets updated (whether fixed or not).
The dirstat shows that (as usual) most of the changes are in drivers and arch (~51% and ~17% respectively), with about half the driver updates being in network drivers. Full details for those who care:
2.0% Documentation/ 3.6% arch/blackfin/ 3.6% arch/cris/ 2.3% arch/sparc/kernel/ 2.8% arch/x86/ 17.3% arch/ 2.1% drivers/char/ 7.0% drivers/dma/ 3.0% drivers/firewire/ 24.0% drivers/net/ 50.6% drivers/ 5.6% fs/cifs/ 9.4% fs/ 3.6% include/ 5.2% kernel/ 3.9% mm/ 2.5% net/
but in general, it's really a fair amount of small changes spread all over, with most of the changes being quite small (604 commits, most of them small, with the BNX2X network driver being and the new fsldma driver the only one that got some bigger changes).
So give it all a good testing,
Linus
