Ok,
the merge window for 2.6.18 is closed, and -rc1 is out there (git trees
updated, the tar-ball and patches are still uploading over my pitiful DSL
line - and as usual it may take a short while before mirroring takes
place and distributes things across the globe).
The changes are too big for the mailing list, even just the shortlog. As
usual, lots of stuff happened. Most architectures got updated, ACPI
updates, networking, SCSI and sound, IDE, infiniband, input, DVB etc etc
etc.
There's also a fair amount of basic infrastructure updates here, with
things like the generic IRQ layer, the lockdep (oh, and priority-
inheritance mutex support) stuff by Ingo &co, some generic
timekeeping infrastructure ("clocksource") stuff, memory hotplug
(and page migration) support, etc etc.
Git users should generally just select the part they are interested in,
and do something like
git log v2.6.17.. -- drivers/usb/ | git shortlog | less -S
to get a better and more focused view of what has changed.
Have fun,
Linus
