The following is the kernel release history for all kernels leading up to the 1.0.9 kernel release, and summarises the first three and a half years of kernel development nicely. In developing this list, I discovered that several of the very early release archives included large numbers of editor backup files, and some of the release archives also included RCS revision control system files. I very carefully pruned all of these from the directory trees before producing the following table from the results thereof. The columns are as follows: 1. The modification date and time of the file with the most recent such time in the original tar archive, as extracted on a system set for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). 2. The number of lines of text in all documents that form part of the release archive. This includes not just the actual source code, but also all other documents found in the release archive. 3. The size in bytes of the uncompressed release archive. 4. The version number of the release in a standardised format. Several of the very early releases have different version numbers in the name of the release archive depending on where one gets the said release archive from, and do not contain any official version number within the archive itself, so the correct version number is very much open to question. I have tried to use a version number that is at least consistant with other version numbers from the same time period where this has happenned. Best wishes from Riley. ============================================================================== Date Time Document Lines Tar File Size Version ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ 17 Sep 1991 17:29:55 10,239 235,669 0.01 3 Dec 1991 1:48:02 13,460 307,481 0.10 8 Dec 1991 18:37:16 13,839 319,681 0.11 16 Jan 1992 6:39:10 19,258 446,636 0.12 8 Mar 1992 12:04:59 20,882 493,630 0.95 17 Mar 1992 21:47:55 21,275 503,578 0.95a 9 Apr 1992 20:48:11 22,147 527,085 0.95c 22 Apr 1992 1:17:20 23,450 566,716 pre-0.96 22 May 1992 19:45:55 30,977 768,929 0.96a 22 Jun 1992 0:35:47 32,332 805,896 0.96b 24 Jun 1992 2:45:11 32,517 809,477 0.96b.1 26 Jun 1992 20:03:24 32,585 810,986 0.96b.2 5 Jul 1992 1:15:12 35,785 909,913 0.96c 11 Jul 1992 20:16:04 36,419 927,811 0.96c.1 17 Jul 1992 4:30:30 38,912 999,795 0.96c.2 1 Aug 1992 16:44:42 42,207 1,105,949 0.97 6 Aug 1992 8:41:59 42,857 1,122,444 0.97.1 24 Aug 1992 1:42:12 43,556 1,140,106 0.97.2 5 Sep 1992 22:30:37 46,062 1,213,309 0.97.3 7 Sep 1992 15:51:11 46,101 1,213,942 0.97.4 12 Sep 1992 22:44:40 47,869 1,258,116 0.97.5 12 Sep 1992 22:44:40 47,869 1,258,116 0.97.5a 20 Sep 1992 19:11:29 48,123 1,258,409 0.97.6 29 Sep 1992 22:10:06 58,977 1,538,687 0.98 5 Oct 1992 19:06:55 59,069 1,542,191 0.98.1 18 Oct 1992 14:12:03 66,770 1,744,902 0.98.2 27 Oct 1992 19:06:01 67,499 1,766,214 0.98.3 9 Nov 1992 0:13:07 67,961 1,786,220 0.98.4 15 Nov 1992 18:21:27 68,566 1,805,696 0.98.5 2 Dec 1992 19:59:00 76,343 2,040,244 0.98.6 13 Dec 1992 16:51:43 81,091 2,170,987 0.99 21 Dec 1992 20:47:43 81,775 2,190,747 0.99.1 1 Jan 1993 21:47:31 81,981 2,197,087 0.99.2 13 Jan 1993 20:55:05 82,297 2,206,604 0.99.3 21 Jan 1993 20:14:37 82,422 2,209,965 0.99.4 9 Feb 1993 20:09:10 81,586 2,086,403 0.99.5 22 Feb 1993 18:33:32 83,328 2,142,975 0.99.6 13 Mar 1993 17:46:43 91,195 2,353,720 0.99.7 22 Mar 1993 19:29:34 92,388 2,396,112 0.99.7a 9 Apr 1993 16:03:38 93,103 2,416,715 0.99.8 24 Apr 1993 0:52:29 94,558 2,450,425 0.99.9 7 Jun 1993 19:58:53 107,884 2,803,015 0.99.10 18 Jul 1993 19:19:42 113,845 2,981,653 0.99.11 15 Aug 1993 15:28:14 122,867 3,244,802 0.99.12 17 Aug 1993 22:39:38 122,871 3,244,979 0.99.12a 20 Sep 1993 16:18:01 124,228 3,279,890 0.99.13 25 Oct 1993 22:33:27 135,501 3,605,576 0.99.13k 29 Nov 1993 9:11:53 157,045 4,180,919 0.99.14 3 Dec 1993 15:26:49 156,751 4,169,476 0.99.14a 9 Dec 1993 10:56:12 156,789 4,169,595 0.99.14b 10 Dec 1993 14:29:01 156,802 4,169,759 0.99.14c 13 Dec 1993 11:01:47 157,229 4,180,077 0.99.14d 14 Dec 1993 10:43:29 157,652 4,191,831 0.99.14e 16 Dec 1993 12:27:40 157,631 4,190,578 0.99.14f 23 Dec 1993 11:51:31 164,547 4,387,230 0.99.14g 27 Dec 1993 13:22:44 164,443 4,384,843 0.99.14h 30 Dec 1993 13:17:23 164,693 4,388,856 0.99.14i 31 Dec 1993 10:01:44 165,093 4,401,306 0.99.14j 3 Jan 1994 10:27:45 166,091 4,433,370 0.99.14k 4 Jan 1994 12:26:13 166,094 4,433,295 0.99.14l 5 Jan 1994 11:21:10 166,126 4,433,266 0.99.14m 7 Jan 1994 14:50:53 171,556 4,553,257 0.99.14n 8 Jan 1994 13:13:10 166,551 4,449,359 0.99.14o 13 Jan 1994 21:08:25 167,061 4,462,399 0.99.14p 17 Jan 1994 13:18:10 167,115 4,463,904 0.99.14q 18 Jan 1994 14:19:08 167,191 4,466,270 0.99.14r 19 Jan 1994 12:12:50 167,227 4,466,914 0.99.14s 21 Jan 1994 13:59:51 168,289 4,485,608 0.99.14t 25 Jan 1994 7:37:08 168,809 4,503,258 0.99.14u 26 Jan 1994 12:08:25 169,037 4,510,385 0.99.14v 27 Jan 1994 14:24:02 168,991 4,509,505 0.99.14w 29 Jan 1994 12:57:42 172,505 4,608,495 0.99.14x 2 Feb 1994 6:45:07 173,152 4,629,797 0.99.14y 2 Feb 1994 15:59:29 173,180 4,630,231 0.99.14z 3 Feb 1994 13:14:03 173,251 4,633,162 0.99.15 7 Feb 1994 14:58:39 173,279 4,634,200 0.99.15a 9 Feb 1994 10:07:53 173,304 4,634,735 0.99.15b 13 Feb 1994 17:08:57 173,461 4,639,314 0.99.15c 14 Feb 1994 16:51:45 173,814 4,647,403 0.99.15d 16 Feb 1994 11:07:57 173,860 4,648,376 0.99.15e 18 Feb 1994 14:54:02 174,055 4,656,522 0.99.15f 21 Feb 1994 18:41:53 174,100 4,657,705 0.99.15g 22 Feb 1994 15:42:37 175,562 4,704,056 0.99.15h 1 Mar 1994 17:29:05 175,630 4,706,122 0.99.15i 2 Mar 1994 17:35:20 175,631 4,706,316 0.99.15j 6 Mar 1994 16:14:51 175,631 4,705,912 pre-1.0 13 Mar 1994 22:38:57 176,250 4,719,743 1.0 16 Mar 1994 11:06:17 176,296 4,721,251 1.0.1 18 Mar 1994 10:31:01 176,314 4,721,959 1.0.2 21 Mar 1994 17:05:21 175,823 4,707,002 1.0.3 22 Mar 1994 16:54:31 175,822 4,706,929 1.0.4 28 Mar 1994 11:40:19 175,885 4,709,102 1.0.5 3 Apr 1994 14:43:03 175,928 4,710,178 1.0.6 6 Apr 1994 13:13:35 176,004 4,712,372 1.0.7 7 Apr 1994 8:36:20 176,131 4,717,314 1.0.8 17 Apr 1994 0:17:39 176,140 4,717,507 1.0.9 ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ Total: 96 kernels to date. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
