Apart from the modules fixups, 1.3.39 does:
- smbfs _may_ work again. Fingers crossed (Mauro Condarelli).
- various minor alpha patches by David M-T
- mcd driver update (Andrew Kroll), making the "old-style" mcd driver
handle disk changes more gracefully.
- tty driver updates from Ted, including the 256-pty stuff. Old pty's
still work, but in order to get more than 64 pty's you have to delete
the old ones and install new ones with the new major numbers.
- hangup fixes by Ted, and this _may_ break some badly coded getty's.
We'll see.
- updated random driver (now you can do "select()" on it etc to wait
for more random data, and it has a slightly stronger CRC for adding
in the entropy).
- a few sound driver fixes (by David M-T again, to make it work on the
alpha)
- fixed recvmsg for unix domain sockets, which could result in a hang
under some circumstances (me).
- fixed vsize reporting in /proc filesystem (me).
- the graphical "make xconfig" should work again, and look a lot better
too. Thanks to Eric and David.
Ok, that's it. Be excellent to each other,
Linus
