Download Linux Kernel 3.6 Release Candidate 4

Linus Torvalds announced yesterday, September 1st, that the fourth Release Candidate of the upcoming Linux 3.6 kernel is available for download and testing.

Linux kernel 3.6 Release Candidate 4 comprises 40% arch updates (x86, PowerPC, ARM, MPIS), 20% Btrfs filesystem improvements, and 20% driver updates.

"The kernel summit is over, and most people have either returned or are returning from San Diego. Probably as a result of lots of maintainers having been away, it's been pretty quiet - despite it being ten days (rather than the usual week) since -rc3."

“Shortlog appended, as you can see it's just fairly random. I'm hoping we're entering the boring/stable part of the -rc windows, and that things won't really pick up speed just because people are getting home,” Linus Torvalds said in the email announcement.
