 LWN - summary:
 ==============
 
+01.04.2011:
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- GCC 4.6.0 is out  support for the Go language, improved C++0x support, many
+		optimization improvements including a "scalable whole program optimizer"
+		which is said to be stable enough to use, a new -Ofast option, and more..
+
+- 2.6.39-rc1 is out
+
+There have been just over 2,200 non-merge changesets pulled into the mainline
+since last week; that makes 8,757 total changes for this development cycle.
+
+- an option to force all interrupt handlers to run as threads
+
+- The media controller subsystem
+
+- The CHOKe packet scheduler
+
+- There is a new "mtdswap" block device which allows swapping directly to
+		memory technology devices.
+
+- printk() and friends have a new "%pB" format specifier which prints a
+		backtrace symbol and its offset.
+
+- Jump Label reworked
+
+    #include <linux/jump_label.h>
+
+    struct jump_label_key my_key;
+Enabling and disabling the key is a simple matter of calling:
+
+    jump_label_inc(struct jump_label_key *key);
+    jump_label_dec(struct jump_label_key *key);
+And using the key to control the execution of rarely-needed code becomes:
+
+    if (static_branch(&my_key)) {
+	/* Unlikely stuff happens here */
+    }
+
+The 2.6.39 kernel now goes into the stabilization phase of the development
+cycle. If the usual pattern holds, we can expect to see on the order of 2000
+fixes merged between now and the final release, which is likely to happen in
+early June.
+
+
+Quotes of the week
+
+The C preprocessor... It is ugly, inelegant, painful, annoying, and should have
+been strangled at birth -- but it is always there when you need it!
+-- Paul McKenney
+
+Make Linux Software presents the fastest ever embedded Linux boot for 720 MHz
+ARM and NAND flash memory. Linux boot time is 300 milliseconds from boot loader
+to shell.
