Subject: 2.6.x features log
Date: Fri, 07 Jan 2005 09:34:36 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <41DEC82C.4040502@osdl.org> (raw)


I think that people really like the Dave Jones
2.5/2.6 halloween information/update.  It contained a lot
of useful info in one place, with pointers to more details.

What I'm seeing (and getting a little concerned about,
although I dislike PR with a passion) is that the 2.6.x
continuous development cycle will cause us (the Linux
community) to miss logging some of these important new
features (outside of bk).  Has anyone kept a track of new
features that are being added in 2.6?

I'll keep a list (or someone else can -- DaveJ ?) if anyone
is interested in feeding items into it.  Or do distros
already keep such a running list of new features?

For example (and some of these might not be needed here):

- NUMA support and API, including some CPU affinity updates
- hotplug and udev
- security fixes
- better ACPI support, better interrupt routing, MSI support
- faster pipes


Thoughts?

Thanks,
--
