The third Release Candidate version of the upcoming Linux kernel 3.3 is available for download and testing, as Linus Torvalds announced a few minutes ago, February 9th.

It looks like Linux kernel 3.3 RC3 brings lots or ARM improvements, as well as updated drivers, IB updates, and HDA sound updates.

"No big surprises, which is just how I like it. About a third of the patches are in ARM, but the bulk of that is due to the removal of the unused DMA map code form the bcmring support. So no complaints."

"The rest is fairly flat in the diffstat (== random small changes all over), although mostly drivers. More sound/hda (and asoc) updates, some target and IB updates, etc etc." - said Linus Torvalds in the announcement.
