Thanks in advance! > Attached is a filtered diff. It's made against 0.8.2-15 (stable) instead of testing since the version in testing dropped kernel space support (required to do anything useful) as a short term workaround whilst this patch was being prepared. Most of the patches that Debian was running in 0.8.2-X are now merged in upstream. Primarily the changes in this diff are adding support for newer kernels. There are some test suite updates and userspace library fixes, but no ABI breaking changes. I've also addressed a few Debian specific issues. The new kernel support has been extensively tested outside of Debian[1] and the process also uncovered and fixed a number of existing bugs[2]. I'm confident that this is the right version to release with.
