The changes in this release are as follows:
NTFS, XFS, reiserfs, and ACPI were updated. Some small virtual memory
patches. Various architecture updates and lots of fixes were made.
ext2 and ext3 filesystem performance was significantly improved. The
"laptop mode" patch was added. POSIX message queues, 4KB stacks for
the i386 architecture, non-executable stack support for several
architectures, the lightweight auditing framework, the "completely
fair queueing" I/O scheduler, TCP "Vegas" congestion avoidance, and
many more features were implemented.

Project description:
Linux is a clone of the Unix kernel, written from scratch by Linus
Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across
the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification
compliance. It has all the features you would expect in a modern
fully-fledged Unix kernel, including true multitasking, virtual
memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write
executables, proper memory management, and TCP/IP networking.
