Kernel 3.12.13 arrives totally unexpected for me,
two kernels releases in one single week is a very rare event, and almost unique...
It's an unusual and very fast release, especially because is NOT like a revert patch release, fixing one heavy bug coming from the previous version, but is a real version with a great and interesting number of patches fixes and with new drivers, a number of changes close to 100...
Considering the upcoming release of OpenMandriva Lx 2014 Beta, I have deemed it appropriate that it was urgent, so I've prepared it today, just this morning I have compiled it on my PC, then I've installed on my 3 Pcs and I've verified that it works as expected, finally I have sent it to ABF
