[Michael Lauzon]

Taken from someone's post on Slashdot:

"Version 2.6.37 of the Linux kernel has been released
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/4/266). This version includes SMP
scalability improvements for Ext4 and XFS, the removal of the Big
Kernel Lock, support for per-cgroup IO throttling, a networking block
device based on top of the Ceph clustered filesystem, several Btrfs
improvements, more efficient static probes, perf support to probe
modules, LZO compression in the hibernation image, PPP over IPv4
support, several networking microoptimizations and many other small
changes, improvements and new drivers for devices like the Brocade BNA
10GB ethernet, Topcliff PCH gigabit, Atheros CARL9170, Atheros AR6003
and RealTek RTL8712U. The fanotify API has also been enabled. See the
full changelog for more details
