    [PATCH] Linux-0.95a (March 17, 1992) · e4f54503
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Oops.  I had forgotten to change the kernel version number in 0.95 (so
    it showed as 0.12).
    
     - 80x50 console on standard VGA
     - do "memcpy_fromfs()" and "memcpy_tofs()" rather than byte-at-a-time
       to improve performance (inspired by some earlier patches by Keith White)
     - allow select() on many more file descriptors
     - support up to 4 serial ports (and increase buffering size)
     - Branko Lankester helped make extended partitions work and implemented
       DM partition table support
    
    The big deal in the release notes is actually that the root diskette
    maintainership had been moved over to Jim Winstead Jr.
