Development kernel 3.12-rc1
Linus has closed the merge window for the 3.12 development cycle, releasing the 3.12-rc1 development kernel. For a brief period, 3.12 went under the code name "Suicidal Squirrel," but, at the last moment, it was changed to "One giant leap for frogkind." No announcement has been posted as of this writing; it will be added here if and when it arrives.

Update: here is the announcement: "I personally particularly like the scalability improvements that got merged this time around. The tty layer locking got cleaned up and in the process a lot of locking became per-tty, which actually shows up on some (admittedly odd) loads. And the dentry refcount scalability work means that the filename caches now scale very well indeed, even for the case where you look up the same directory or file (which could historically result in contention on the per-dentry d_lock)."
