Parent article: The 4.9 kernel has been released

What happened with KernelNewbies ( https://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxVersions )?

The wiki page hasn't been updated for the 4.8 and 4.9 kernels :(

The 4.8 version of the page exists but isn't completed, so I guess they didn't update the page to include it yet.

4.9 page also seems to exist at https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_4.9.

It doesn't look like there's any activity, though.

I liked KernelNewbies in the past for their same-day kernel release coverage. Do they accept donations? I can't find it in their wiki.

Who runs KernelNewbies? They need to nuke or lock down their forum, which has become overrun with spam.

If you read German, I recommend reading Kernel-Log at heise.de.
