Subject: perfctr-2.6.8 released

Version 2.6.8 of perfctr, the Linux performance
monitoring counters driver, is now available at the usual
place: http://www.csd.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/2.6/

This is a maintenance release, bringing updated
kernel support to users of the stable branch.

Version 2.6.8, 2004-05-29
- Added support for the IBM PowerPC 750GX processor.
- Updated kernel support: 2.4.27-pre3, 2.6.7-rc1, 2.6.7-rc1-mm1,
  2.4.21-15.EL (RHEL3), 2.6.5-1.358 (FC2).
- Fixed an error in the 2.4.21-193 SuSE kernel patch file which
  broke compilation on x86-64.
- Perfctr and Oprofile can now coexist safely in newer kernels,
  thanks to changes in kernel 2.6.6. Backported support for
  those changes from perfctr-2.7.1.
