The 5.5-rc5 kernel prepatch has been
released. Linus added a note to the release announcement: "One sad
piece of news I got this past week was that Bruce
Evans has passed away. Bruce wasn't really ever really much directly
involved in Linux development - he was active on the BSD side - but he was
the developer behind Minix/i386, which was what I used for the original
Linux development in the very early days before Linux became
self-hosting.
"
On the stable-update side, 5.4.8, 4.19.93, 4.14.162, 4.9.208, and 4.4.208 are all available with another set of important fixes.
