We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.18.8 kernel.
It contains a number of bugfixes, and all 2.6.18 users are recommended
to upgrade.
Barring anything extremely serious, this will be the last 2.6.18 based
release.
The diffstat and short summary of the fixes are below.
I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.18.7 and 2.6.18.8, as it is small enough to do so.
The updated 2.6.18.y git tree can be found at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.18.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
