2.6.26-rc8, "A Pretty Small Set Of Changes"

"It hasn't been a week, I know, and this is a pretty small set of changes since -rc7, but I'm going to be mostly incommunicado for the next week or so, so I just released what will hopefully be the last -rc," began Linux creator Linus Torvalds, announcing the 2.6.26-rc8 kernel. He added, "or maybe not. It depends on how good you all are while I'm not looking." Regarding the latest release candidate, Linus explained:

"Most of the bulk of the changes here are to Xen and to KVM in particular, which shows up as a rather unusual dirstat: 65% is in arch/x86 (counting the asm-x86 changes too). The rest is mostly random stuff, the appended ShortLog gives a reasonable idea. Several bugzilla entries are hopefully now closed."
