"This updated yum package fixes the following bugs :

  - The nightly yum.cron will spew out alot of information
    during the add-ons section. The logging level for these
    information messages was turned up so that it doesn't
    happen during yum.cron

  - The kernel-module plugin now detects when yum has chosen
    a kernel-module for a kernel not installed. It will put
    the correct kernel-module on the list to be installed,
    and remove the poorly choosen kernel-module from the
    installation list.

For SL 50 and 51 machines the following features have been added

  - installonlyn is not a plugin but built into yum. To turn
    this feature off, put the following line in
    /etc/yum.conf installonly_limit = 0

The following default setting has been changed

  - installonlyn defaults to 4 instead of 3"
