Dear all, Linux kernel 3.6 has been released last Sunday. It brings a few small fixes and optimizations to the firewire drivers [http://marc.info/?l=linux1394-devel&m=134355348001969] and a new sysfs attribute "/sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw[0-9]*/is_local" which can for example be used to set special ownership of local nodes' /dev/fw* files when they are created and launch target-like usermode drivers. While there aren't many news to report about the firewire kernel drivers, there is a big release of the FFADO project to celebrate: v2.1.0 of the Free FireWire Audio Drivers has been released on September 18th, with largely expanded hardware support and many improvements.
