Linux Linus Torvalds has released Linux 2.6.24. "The release is out there (both git trees and as tarballs/patches), and for the next week many kernel developers will be at (or flying into/out of) LCA in Melbourne, so let's hope it's a good one. Nothing earth-shattering happened since -rc8, although the new set of ACPI blacklist entries and some network driver updates makes the diffstat show that there was more than the random sprinkling of one-liners all over the tree. But most of it really is one-liners, and mostly not very exciting ones at that."

Err... yes? OS news on OSNews sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Since the changelog(pure text) from the last version is ~5MB, I would say a lot has changed, and it is worthy of a little notice on OSNews...
