Linus Torvalds announced this weekend, April 15th, that the third Release Candidate of the upcoming Linux 3.4 kernel is available for download and testing.

Linux Kernel 3.4 RC3 includes quite a lot of fixes and improvements in various area, such as ALSA, Btrfs, USB, ARM, and much more.

"Anyway, the shortlog is appended, but I don't think there really is anything hugely exciting there. It's mostly driver updates, with a smattering of architecture fixes and networking."

"The diffstat is almost entirely flat, with the exception of the mtip32xx driver update and a trivial kyrofb change (replace "unsigned long" to "u32" to make it work properly on 64-bit) that was just lots of simple replacement." - said Linus Torvalds in the email announcement.

Download Linux Kernel 3.4 RC3 right now from Softpedia. Remember that this is a development release and it is intended for testing purposes only.
