Linux 3.9 Released

After weeks of RC releases and a week's delay Linux 3.9, which packs a
lot of new features, has finally been made available by Linus Torvalds.

Last week Torvalds released the rc8 instead of the Linux 3.9 stating
that he wasn�t �comfy� releasing the final version yet and that �another
week won�t hurt�. Torvalds noted in this week�s announcement that last
week has been very quiet as there were not many commits and the ones
which were there were �really tiny� which is why he went ahead with the
release of Linux 3.9.

Torvalds, as always, did make a note insisting developers not to send in
too many pull requests just before the release is about to happen citing
the case of rc7.

The 3.10 merge window is now open and people have already started
sending in pull requests. �Also, this obviously means that the merge
window is open.� noted Torvalds in the Linux 3.9 release announcement.

�I won't be merging anything today, but if you start sending me your
pull requests �, tomorrow the flood gates start opening�, he added.
