The user-mode port of 2.4.7 is available.

In a minor packaging breakthrogh, a .deb for UML is now available.

The UML block driver now supports a read-write COW layer above a shared 
read-only filesystem.  This allows multiple UMLs to boot off the same 
filesystem.  See http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/shared_fs.html for
more information.

The ppc port is now fully merged.

The pid file and mconsole socket are now located in a directory defined 
by the UML umid.

There is now IO memory emulation.  This allows a host file to be mapped by a
UML driver, which can provide whatever interface it wants to that file to 
UML processes.  This is a first step towards doing hardware driver development
under UML.

gdbs are now killed properly.

A nasty bug involving a misunderstanding with FASTCALL was fixed.

Block devices and network devices are now pluggable from the mconsole - they
can be added to and removed from a running system.  See 
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/mconsole.html for more information.

SIGHUP no longer causes UML to go crazy.

The project's home page is http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net
