It is likely that fairly soon after 2.6.15 is released I will make a
release from the 0.5 series specifically for 2.6.15. With the
supporting modules in the kernel it is much easier to install 0.5 than
0.4.
It may be that I will no longer support 0.4 for kernels 2.6.15 and up at
that time (yes, development of 0.4 will continue, but for older kernels
and important fixes only). But until 2.6.15 is officially released I
can't say anything definite about this.
