    Time Event
    8:36a
    Kernel prepatch 4.6-rc5
    Linus has released the 4.6-rc5 kernel
    prepatch. "Things continue to be fairly calm: rc5 is bigger than rc4 was, but rc4
    really was tiny.

    And while we're back to fairly normal commit counts for this time in
    the release window, the kinds of bugs people are finding remain very
    low grade: there's absolutely nothing scary in here. If things
    continue this way, this might be one of those rare releases that don't
    even get to rc7.    "

    Intel releases the Arduino 101 firmware source code
    Arduino has announced
    the release     of the source code for the real-time operating system
    (RTOS) powering the Arduino 101 and Genuino 101. "The package
    contains the complete BSP (Board Support Package) for the Curie processor
    on the 101. It allows you to compile and modify the core OS and the
    firmware to manage updates and the bootloader. (Be careful with this one
    since flashing the wrong bootloader could brick your board and require a
    JTAG programmer to unbrick it).    " (Thanks to Paul Wise)
