It adds the laptop "mode" functionality already present in recent SuSE/RH kernels, adds the megaraid2 (improved, faster, but not so extensively tested as the old megaraid) driver, adds BIOS EDD (enhanced disk detection) support, contains a USB update, network update, amongst other fixes. I hope we enter -rc stage in more or less one month.
