Hi all,

we have accumulated a number of pretty intrisuve patches (i. e. changes to a large (!) number of files in the "next" branch. These will be merged into mainline as soon as the next merge windows opens.

When you submit patches, please check carefully:

* patches that are only bug fixes (i. e. they don't introduce new features or significant amount of new code) must be submitted against current mainline, i. e. the "master" branch

* all NEW stuff should be submitted against the "next" branch.

Please also note that, as new commits get added to the "master" branch, the "next" branch will be rebased every now and then.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
