14 DAY TRIAL // After announcing the fifth maintenance release of Linux kernel 3.19, Greg Kroah-Hartman also published details about the seventy-fifth point release of the Linux 3.10 kernel, urging users of the 3.10 kernel series to upgrade as soon as the packages become available in the official software repositories of their Linux distributions.
According to the appended changelog, Linux kernel 3.10.75 LTS is here to update several drivers or add new ones, especially for ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), Radeon GPUs, DMA, iiO, iSCSI, SCSI, InfiniBand, Wireless, and USB hardware.
Additionally, it fixes issues with Common Internet File System (CIFS) and OCFS2, a general-purpose shared-disk cluster file system. Two sound problems have been repaired as well, and issues in the IPv4 networking protocol and netfilter packet filtering framework have been addressed.
"I'm announcing the release of the 3.10.75 kernel. All users of the 3.10 kernel series must upgrade," says Greg Kroah-Hartman.
