11:41 AM EDT 		I will assume that the ext4 bug is one of the fixes, I find Hartman's absolute statement "All users of the 3.6 kernel series must upgrade" very interesting.

I've noticed a few errors in the last few days with 3.6.4, I guess it can only get better.

I think I'll search around and find out if having the kernel automatically send crash reports to ... where ever it is they're sent, is a doing good.

The changelog is at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/ChangeLog-3.6.5 I did not see anything about ext4 patches, mostly I noticed an xfs patch, plus driver updates for wireless and USB devices.

This release is probably in most distro repositories by now (at least it is in openSuSE's).
