Kernel release status
The current development kernel is 5.7-rc2, released on April 19. Linus said:
"
Everything continues to look fairly normal, with commit counts right in the middle of what you'd expect for rc2. And most of the changes are tiny and don't look scary at all."
Stable updates: 5.6.5, 5.5.18, 5.4.33, and 4.19.116 came out on April 17, followed by 5.6.6, 5.5.19, 5.4.34, and 4.19.117 on April 21. The 5.5.x line ends with 5.5.19, so users will want to be looking at moving forward to 5.6.
