Bill's math emulator now passes paranoia. Last argument to ioctl is "long". sys_clone() appears. [original announcement below] The latest kernel release is 0.99.9, and can be found on nic.funet.fi: pub/OS/Linux/PEOPLE/Linus, both as patches relative to pl8 and as full sources. The only major new feature is that the ST-0x driver has finally been updated to the scatter-gather code: ST-0x users should with luck get about 5 times the performance on disk-operations.. Seagate code written by Drew Eckhardt. 0.99.9 also fixes: - the FPU-emulator should now handle all rounding-modes correctly, and pass all the paranoia package tests. Patches by Bill Metzenthen. - bootup enhancements by Chrisoph Niemann (but the SVGA mode numbers have changed, so you may have to edit your lilo configuration file and/or the main Makefile to get the mode you normally want) - ext2fs updated to the very latest release. Code by Remy Card and Stephen Tweedie. - various minor patches, some of them cosmetic, some of them fixes to smaller bugs.. Thanks to everybody who sent them in (even though not all made it) It might be a good idea to test it all out, Linus
