[Posted January 9, 2019 by corbet]

The current development kernel is 5.0-rc1, released on January 6. Linus said: "The numbering change is not indicative of anything special. If you want to have an official reason, it's that I ran out of fingers and toes to count on, so 4.21 became 5.0."

Stable updates: 4.20.1, 4.19.14, 4.14.92, and 4.9.149 were released on January 9.
