Linux kernel 6.12.27 has been released.
Linux kernel 6.1.137 has been released.
Linus Torvalds has announced the release of the fifth release candidate for Linux kernel 6.15, emphasizing routine updates. The kernel is positioned within the typical statistics for the release candidate 5 timeframe, featuring several drivers that have undergone multiple lines of modifications. The diffstat appears to be predominantly even, with the majority of changes consisting of minor one- and few-line modifications.
This release features significant updates, particularly in the area of self-tests, which account for approximately 20% of the overall changes. The modifications primarily involve drivers and have a significant emphasis on networking. However, changes related to the GPU are minimal this time. The remaining modifications encompass a combination of networking enhancements and various minor adjustments, including architecture improvements, tracing updates, and several core refinements.

The stable release of 4MLinux 48.0 has been released, providing a range of features including LibreOffice, GNOME Office, Firefox, Chrome, Thunderbird, Audacious, VLC, SMPlayer, Mesa, and Wine. The release additionally encompasses Perl, Python, and Ruby. The latest updates encompass Kino, VVenC, FreeTube, and Bristol, alongside an upgrade of the LTS Linux kernel to version 6.12. The latest major release introduces features such as Kino, VVenC, FreeTube, and Bristol.
Linux Torvalds has announced the release of the fourth release candidate for Linux kernel 6.15, with no rushed last-minute modifications resulting from system upgrades. The kernel has resolved a locking issue with local_trylock, as reported by Phoronix, which did not activate across all compiler versions. The conversation has progressed to a stage where a significant portion focuses on prospective changes, indicating positive development.
The change log includes fixes for various problems, such as adding Sierra Wireless EM9291, making conditional changes to kvm_rip_read() in KVM tracepoints, improving compatibility for X1E80100, fixing race conditions in MNT_TREE_BENEATH handling, and correcting multiplication overflow when reading timestamps. Additional modifications consist of eliminating redundant checks in pds_core, restructuring fiemap processing into an extent helper and struct, and incorporating a note into the fwnode.h file.

Linus Torvalds has announced the third release candidate for Linux kernel 6.15 with a few minor fixes. The main changes are to address ublk driver issues and related self-tests. The merge window was large, but it has not caused any significant issues.
The list of changes in the X86 kernel includes improvements to various features, such as increasing wait time before retrying PTM, moving ktime snapshots into PTM retry loops, handling the IGC_PTP_ENABLED flag correctly, and adding a lock preventing multiple simultaneous PTM transactions. Other changes include avoiding NULL dereference in nvmet_auth_sq_free(), ensuring full initialization of completion entries, and clearing CC and CSTS when disabling the controller. Other improvements include resetting old folio orders and removing rogue intr_tear_rd_ptr values. Other changes include removing volatile qualifiers from io helpers, adding i.MX94 support, and removing unused forward declarations. The list also includes fixes for unused forward declarations, iomap, NVMe, sysfs links, and more.
