Kernel release status
The current development kernel is 5.0-rc3, released on January 20. Linus said:
"
This rc is a bit bigger than usual. Partly because I missed a networking pull request for rc2, and as a result rc3 now contains _two_ networking pull updates. But part of it may also just be that it took a while for people to find and then fix bugs after the holiday season."
Stable updates:
4.20.3, 4.19.16, 4.14.94, 4.9.151, and 4.4.171 were released on January 17,
followed by
4.20.4, 4.19.17, 4.14.95, and 4.9.152 on January 23.
