So I should probably have delayed this until Wednesday for sentimental reasons: that will be 23 years since I uploaded the 0.01 source tree.
But I’m not an overly sentimental person, so screw that. I’m doing my normal Sunday release.
And as I mentioned in the rc4 notes, the previous rc was pretty small, possibly because neither Greg nor Davem had sent in any updates that week. Guess what? David’s networking updates came in an hour after I did rc4, and sure enough Greg came in this week too, so – surprise surprise – rc5 isn’t as small as rc4 was.
