"It is a good thing that we didn't make too many changes after 2.6.27 RC9. I certainly don't want any changes before the official release. In addition, I don't want many people to see the correction list. I think we are now in a pretty good state. I don't want to extend the press release.

The changes made after RC9 are indeed very small. I suspect many people will pay attention to the correction list. As usual, if you want to know all the changes since 2.6.26, you can view the Update log of the full version. For more information, see http://kernelnewbies.org/linuxchanges.

More importantly, the content has passed the test. But if you are a bad boy (girl) and haven't participated in the RC test, let's take a look ."
