    Time Event
    1:49p
    Kernel prepatch 4.3-rc2
    The second 4.3 prepatch is now available
    for testing. "As has been
    the trend for a while now, rc2 tends to be reasonably small, probably
    because it takes a while for regression reports to start trickling in
    (and some people probably actively wait for rc2 to even start testing
    - you scaredy-cats, you).    "

    [$] The kernel connection multiplexer
    As the introduction to Tom Herbert's kernel connection multiplexer (KCM) patch set notes, TCP is often used for message-oriented communication protocols even though, as a streaming transport, it has no native support for message-oriented communications. KCM is an effort to make it easier to send and receive messages over TCP which adds a couple of other interesting features as well.
