14 DAY TRIAL // Zefan Li had the great pleasure of announcing the immediate availability for download of a new maintenance release for the 3.4 kernel series, Linux kernel 3.4.108 LTS, a long-term support version that will receive updates for a few more years.
According to the appended shortlog, Linux kernel 3.4.108 LTS is here to improve the ARM, x86, Alpha, s390, PowerPC (PPC), and SPARC hardware architectures, update many file systems, including autofs4, CIFS, debugfs, eCryptfs, FUSE, HFS+, JFFS2, NFS, NILFS2, and OCFS2, as well as to add better support for some Wireless drivers. Also, various other networking and sound improvements landed in this release.
Additionally, numerous drivers have been updated in the new maintenance release of Linux 3.4 kernel, including, but not limited to, things like ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), Bluetooth, CPUfreq, EDAC, general-purpose input/output (GPIO), DRM (mostly Radeon), InfiniBand, MD, MTD, networking, PCI, PCMCIA, SCSI, SPI, TTY, USB, and Xen.
"I'm announcing the release of the 3.4.108 kernel. All users of the 3.4 kernel series must upgrade," says Zefan Li. "The updated 3.4.y git tree can be found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-3.4.y and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary."
All users of the Linux 3.4 kernel branch must upgrade
Zefan Li urges all users of the Linux 3.4 kernel branch to upgrade to the Linux kernel 3.4.108 LTS release as soon as possible, or more precisely as soon as the update arrives in the main software repositories of their GNU/Linux operating systems. Advanced users can download the Linux kernel 3.4.108 LTS sources right now from the kernel.org website or via Softpedia.
