Kernel release status
The current development kernel is 5.2-rc2, released on May 26. Linus said:
"
Fairly normal rc2, no real highlights - I think most of the diff is the SPDX updates. Who am I kidding? The highlight of the week was clearly Finland winning the ice hockey world championships." The codename has been changed to "Golden Lions".
The "SPDX updates" mentioned are part of a large effort to replace most of the license boilerplate in kernel source files with SPDX tags. Nearly 300 changesets toward this goal have been merged since the 5.1 release.
Stable updates:
5.1.5,
5.0.19,
4.19.46,
4.14.122, and
4.9.179 were released on May 25.
