Kernel release status
The current development kernel is 5.0-rc8, released instead of the expected 5.0-final on
February 24. Linus said: "
This may be totally unnecessary, but we actually had more patches come in this last week than we had for rc7, which just didn't make me feel the warm and fuzzies. And while none of the patches looked all that scary, some of them were to pretty core files, so it wasn't all just random rare drivers (although those kinds also existed)."
Stable updates:
4.20.12,
4.19.25,
4.14.103,
4.9.160,

followed by
