Marcello Tosatti:2.4.20-pre1

Most, hogy már a 2.4.19 kijött, megjelent az első pre-patch a 2.4.20-ból is. Elég sok minden változott, de a változások jórészt bugfixekből, és driver update-kből állnak. Kivétel a NAPI (High Performance Networking, lásd az LWN 2001 Október 4-i erről szóló cikkét), valamint az x86-64 beolvasztása. Marcello szerint a 2.4.20 kiadási ciklusa gyorsabb lesz mint a 2.4.19-é volt. (Hmm... mintha aj is ezt igérné a sarge-ról :-) ) Illetve, hogy pontosak legyünk, a NAPI napirendre került, de Marcello az utolsó pillanatban eltávolította:-)

So here goes -pre1, with a big -ac and x86-64 merges, plus other smaller

stuff.



2.4.20 will be a much faster release cycle than 2.4.19 was.
