It's been long promised, but there it is now. Special thanks to Ingo who

found and fixed a nasty-looking regression that turned out to not be a

regression at all, but an old bug that just had not been triggering as

reliably before.
That said, that was just the last particular regression fix I was holding

things up for, and it's not like there weren't a lot of other fixes too,

they just didn't end up being the final things that triggered my

particular worries.
The full changelog from 2.6.24 is 7.5M, with a 12MB compressed patch. Tons

and tons has changed, but if you've been following the -rc releases,

you'll already know about the big things. The changes from the last rc

(-rc9) are fairly small and mostly pretty trivial, and the shortlog is

appended.
So it's mostly one-liners, with some updates to drivers (net and usb) and

to networking that are a bit larger (although a number of the driver

updates are things like just new ID's etc).
For those of you who haven't followed -rc's, and want the more readable

overview of what has changed since 2.6.24, I'd suggest the usual sites,

notably http://kernelnewbies.org/.
And a reminder for git users: while the _full_ changelogs are huge and

unwieldly and you easily lose sight of the big picture from just bring

overwhelmed by the details, if you're interested in some particular

subsystem, using "gitk v2.6.24.. " is a good way to see what

has changed in that particular area.
