On June 29, Linus Torvalds had the pleasure of announcing that the third RC (Release Candidate) version of the upcoming Linux 3.16 kernel was available for download and testing.

As you’ve probably noticed, the Sunday release schedule for development versions of the Linux kernel is now back, and this build introduces mostly filesystem and architecture updates. In detail, Linux kernel 3.16 RC3 boasts several architecture updates, including for x86 (32-bit), ARM, PowerPC, and MIPS, various filesystem updates, including for NFS (Network File System), OCFS2, and AIO, networking improvements, as well as a handful of mm fixes.
