Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Kernel 3.14 RC5 has been released today. This is what Linus Torvalds said in the mailing lists:
Things were fairly calm, and fairly normal. Drivers account for just under 60% of the patch (sound dominates due to a couple of patches that are larger but trivial, but there’s various misc oneliners all over). The rest is mostly arch updates (mainly powerpc and xtensa), and then there’s a smattering of small stuff elsewhere.
