      CHANGES since 0.99 patchlevel 15:
      
      - removed all the bugs, of course.
      - networking fixes.
      - more changes than I really wanted..
      
      [original announcement below]
      
      Linux 1.0---A better UNIX than Windows NT
      
      Summary: Linux 1.0 released
      Keywords: Linux Kernel 1.0 Academy Awards
      X-Moderator-Added-Keywords: universe, end of
      
      Finally, here it is.  Almost on time (being just two years late is
      peanuts in the OS industry), and better than ever:
      
      	Linux kernel release 1.0
      
      This release has no new major features compared to the pl15 kernels, but
      contains lots and lots of bugfixes: all the major ones are gone, the
      smaller ones are hidden better.  Hopefully there are no major new ones.
      
      The Linux kernel can be found as source on most of the Linux ftp-sites
      under the names
      
      	linux-1.0.tar.gz		(full source)
      	linux-1.0.patch.pl15.gz		(patch against linux-0.99pl15)
      	linux-1.0.patch.alpha.gz	(patch from linux-pre-1.0)
      
      it should be available at least at the sites
      
      	ftp.funet.fi:
      		pub/OS/Linux/PEOPLE/Linus	(now)
      	sunsite.unc.ed:
      		pub/Linux/Incoming		(now)
      		pub/Linux/kernel		(soon)
      	tsx-11.mit.edu:
      		pub/linux/sources/system	(soon)
      	ftp.cs.helsinki.fi:
      		pub/Software/Linux/Kernel	(now)
      
      This release finally moves Linux out of Beta status and is meant as a
      base for distributions to build on.  It will neither change Linux'
      status as FreeWare under the GPL, nor will it mean the end of
      development on Linux.  In fact many new features where held back for
      later releases so that 1.0 could become a well tested and hopefully
      stable release.
      
      The Linux kernel wouldn't be where it is today without the help of lots
      of people: the kernel developers, the people who did user-level programs
      making linux useful, and the brave and foolhardy people who risked their
      harddisks and sanity to test it all out.  My thanks to you all.
      (Editorial note: if you think this sounds too much like the Academy
      Awards ceremony, just skip this: it's not getting any better.)
      
      Thanks to people like Aaron Kushner, Danny ter Haar and the authors of
      the AnwenderHandbuch (and others) who have helped me with hardware or
      monetary donations (and to the Oxford Beer Trolls and others who took
      care of the drinkware).  And thanks to Dirk, who helped me write this
      announcement despite my lazyness ("hey, it's just another release, who
      needs an announcement anyway?").
      
      To make a long and boring story a bit shorter and boring, here is at
      least a partial list of people who have been helping make Linux what it
      is today.  Thanks to you all,

      [original changelog below]
      
      Linux 0.99.15 released: Codefreeze for 1.0
      
      People who look into my directory on ftp.funet.fi will already have
      noticed that the latest version of linux (0.99.15) is available, and I
      assume it will be available on most other linux sites soon.  As
      explained in a previous announcement, 0.99.15 is "it", in that this will
      be the base for 1.0 after about a month of testing.  No further patches
      are accepted until the 1.0 release, unless they obviously fix a serious
      bug.
      
      **** NOTE 1 ****
      
        For this code-freeze to be effective yet still potential bugs be
        found, testing is needed, along with good reports of errors and
        problems.  Thus, nobody should think "hey, the *real* release will be
        out in a month, let's wait for that", but instead think: "hey, I'd
        better test this one, so that the *real* release won't result in any
        ugly surprises for me".
      
        In short: test it out, preferably even more than you usually do.  Run
        "crashme" for the whole month if you have the CPU-power to spare,
        and/or just misuse your machine as badly as you can.  And if there are
        problems, report them to me (and the better the report, the more
        likely I am to be able to do something about it).
      
      **** NOTE 2 ****
      
        Bumping the linux version number to 1.0 doesn't mean anything more
        than that: it's only a version number change.  More explicitly, it
        does *NOT* mean that linux will become commercial (the copyright will
        remain as-is), nor does it mean that development stops here, and that
        1.0 will be anything special in that respect.
      
        I'm also afraid that just changing the version number will not make
        potential bugs magically disappear: this has been amply proven by
        various software houses over the years.  This code-freeze is there in
        order to avoid most of the problems that people sometimes associate
        with "X.0 releases", and I hope that it will mean that we have a
        reasonably stable release that we can call 1.0 and one that I won't
        have to be ashamed of.
      
        Ok, enough said, I hope.  The pl15 release is hopefully good, but I'll
        continue to make ALPHA patches against it along the whole month as
        problems crop up.  The networking code has been much maligned, and is
        not perfect by far yet, but it's getting its act together thanks to
        various developers and testers.  And as wiser men than I have said (or
        if they haven't, they should have):
      
            "There is life after 1.0"
      
        Any rumors that the world is coming to an end just because I'm about to
        release a 1.0-version are greatly exaggerated.  I think.
      
                          Linus
      
      ----------
      Things that remained the same between 0.99.14 and 0.99.15:
      
      - I again forgot to update the README before uploading the release.  In
        pl14, I talked about pl13, while the all new and improved README has
        now caught up with pl14.  Remind me to buy a new brain one of these
        days.
      
      Changes between versions 0.99.14 and 0.99.15:
      
       - improved Pentium detection.  Some of you may have had linux report
         your 4086DX2 as a pentium machine, but the new kernel will tell you
         the sad truth.  Whee.
       - Network driver updates by Donald Becker.  New drivers added, old ones
         updated.
       - FPU emulation updates by Bill Metzenthen.  Various minor errors and
         misfeatures fixed (mostly error handling).
       - Support for the SoubdBlaster Pro CD-ROM driver added by Eberhard
         Moenkeberg.
       - extended support for keyboard re-definition, along with font
         re-programming (Eugene Crosser, Andries Brouwer et al).
       - tty handling fixes: true canonical mode with most features supported
         by Julian Cowley.  This may make your canonical mode behave funnily
         if you happen to use old and broken programs that happened to work
         with the old and broken behaviour (this includes at least some
         'getty' programs).
       - serial driver changes and tty fixes by Theodore Ts'o.
       - SCSI fixes by Drew Eckhardt, Eric Youngdale, Rik Faith, Kai Mdkisara
         et al.
       - Updated sound card driver to version 2.4 (Hannu Savolainen)
       - COFF binary loading support (but you will still need the experimental
         iBCS2 patches to run non-linux i386 COFF binaries) by Al Longyear.
       - Upgraded ext2fs filesystem routines (0.4a -> 0.4b), with new
         features.  Read the fs/ext2/CHANGES file for details.  Remy Card and
         Stephen Tweedie.  Get a new fsck that knows about the new features.
       - pipe behaviour fixed in the presense of multiple writers (now
         actually conforms to POSIX specs about atomic writes).  Much of the
         code by Florian Coosmann.
       - minix filesystem extended to support the clean flag: get a new fsck
         that knows about it.
       - System V filesystem (support for Xenix, Coherent and SysV
         filesystems) by Doug Evans, Paul Monday, Pascal Haible and Bruno
         Haible.
       - loadable modules (various authors, don't remember original author of
         the "modules" code).
       - Lots of networking fixes by various people: Alan Cox, Charles
         Hedrick, me and various other people.  Non-byte-aligned networks
         work, and the networking code should be much stabler in general.
      
       + various bugfixes and enhacements here and there (mcd driver update by
         Jon Tombs, atixlmouse fix by Chris Colohan, /dev/full by XXX etc etc)
      
      All in all, the patches come out to 1.5MB uncompressed (about 400kB
      gzip-9'd), so there is little or no idea to make patches to plain pl14
      available.  Incremental patches and ALPHA-releases can be found on
      ftp.funet.fi: pub/OS/Linux/PEOPLE/Linus/ALPHA-pl14.
