Kernel release status
The current development kernel is 5.8-rc4, released
on July 5. Linus said: "
The end result is that it's been fairly calm, and there's certainly been discussion of upcoming fixes, but I still have the feeling that 5.8 is looking fairly normal and things are developing smoothly despite the size of this release."
It's worth noting that the 5.8-rc5 release will raise the minimum GCC requirement to version 4.9.
Stable updates: none have been released in the last week. The relatively small
5.7.8,
5.4.51,
4.19.132,
4.14.188,
4.9.230, and
4.4.230
updates are all in the review process; they are due on July 9.
