Kernel release status

The 5.7 kernel was released on May 31 (announcement). Headline features in 5.7 include x86 split-lock detection, thermal-pressure management, frequency invariance in the load-tracking code, coexistence between BPF and realtime preemption, support for BPF security hook programs (formerly called the KRSI security module), a new, Microsoft-blessed exFAT filesystem implementation, and more. The final patch to be merged was this one deprecating the long-standing 80-column limit for kernel source. See the KernelNewbies 5.7 page for lots of details.

Stable updates: 5.6.16, 5.4.44, 4.19.126, 4.14.183, 4.9.226, and 4.4.226 were all released on June 3.
