I finally managed to update my release scripts to safely produce a

added just a security fix to -rc3. Complete changelog appended.
I've also released 2.4.33.7 with the same fix for those still

It supports both level and edge triggered events. It is similar to

Dear all,
The apple fn keys don't work anymore with 2.6.20-rc1.

Please apply.

I think, it was more the copy and paste from the shell; should have included
the file instead.
