[$] The 3.11 merge window closes
![[New logo]](http://lwn.net/images/2013/3.11-logo.png)
Linus
announced the release of 3.11-rc1 —
and the closing of the 3.11 merge window — on July 14. While the
merge window was open, 9,494 non-merge changesets were pulled into the
mainline kernel repository. The
last
of those changes changed the kernel's codename to "Linux for Workgroups"
and modified the boot-time logo; the new version appears to the right.
Clearly, Linux development has moved into a new era.
