Linux Kernel 2.6.21 has been announced. Linus writes: "So the big change during 2.6.21 is all the timer changes to support a tickless system (and even with ticks, more varied time sources). Thanks (when it no longer broke for lots of people ;) go to Thomas Gleixner and Ingo Molnar and a cadre of testers and coders." More info here and here.

My favorite changes were, V4linux, bttv cropping support, PS3 USB (this was great)and dynamic kernel command line.

Guys I want to ask about what about OSS is it completely dropped. becuase OSS has got many changes too.
