Linux creator Linus Torvalds announced the release of the 2.6.6 stable kernel. A number of notable additions found their way into the mainline 2.6 kernel during this development cycle, including Jens Axboe’s laptop mode and the completely fair queueing (CFQ) I/O scheduler, support for a non-executable stack on a number of architectures, several patches laying the groundwork for object-based reverse mapping, and 4KB kernel stacks for the i386 architecture reducing the kernel’s per process overhead.

Das ganze Changelog gibts hier.
