Linux 3.11-rc4 Released
The fourth release candidate for Linux 3.11 is now available. From the release announcement:
I had hoped things would start calming down, but rc4 is pretty much exactly the same size as rc3 was. That said, the patches seem a bit more spread out, and less interesting – which is a good thing. Boring is good. Let’s keep it that way, and try to make for fewer patches for -rc5, ok? Because we are past half-way now, and I really want to see just fixes.
