Subject: Arr! Linux 2.6.23-rc7
Date: Sep 19, 7:17 pm 2007

Ahoy me laddies (and beauties),

 time for the traditional "Talk Like a Pirate Day" kernel release!
Now, last year we had a full release (2.6.18 was immortalized on

TLAP-2006), but this year I'm chickening out, and we're just doing what is

hopefully going to be the last -rc release for the 2.6.23 series.
I'm not including the diffstat, because it got blown up by the

resurrection of the sk98lin driver - because skge that is supposed to

supplant it doesn't handle some of the hardware. Oh well.
Apart from that, we had some mips, powerpc and xtense updates, and various

driver tweaks. Things like the USB autosuspend revert should make people

happier, and some more clockevents fixes should help suspend/restore on

i386.
But the shortlog probably tells it best.
		Linus
