    Time Event
    3:35p
    The 3.13 kernel is out
    Linus has released the 3.13 kernel.
    "The release got delayed by a week due to travels, but I suspect
    that's just as well. We had a few fixes come in, and while it wasn't a lot,
    I think we're better off for it.
    " Some of the headline features in
    3.13 include the nftables packet filtering
    engine, a number of NUMA scheduling
    improvements, the multiqueue block layer
    work, ARM big.LITTLE switcher support, and
    more; see the KernelNewbies
    3.13 page
    for lots of details.
