Kernel release status
The current development kernel is 5.11-rc7, released
on February 7. Linus said: "
Anyway, this is hopefully the last rc for this release, unless some surprise comes along and makes a travesty of our carefully laid plans. It happens. Nothing hugely scary stands out, with the biggest single part of the patch being some new self-tests. In fact, about a quarter of the patch is documentation and selftests."
Stable updates:
5.10.13, 5.4.95, 4.19.173, 4.14.219, 4.9.255, and 4.4.255 were released on February 4.
Then came the 4.9.256
and 4.4.256 updates on the next day; they contained no
patches, but did include an experimental attempt to solve the minor-version number overflow problem.
5.10.14, 5.4.96, 4.19.174, and 4.14.220 followed on February 8, and
5.10.15,
5.4.97,
4.19.175,
4.14.221,
4.9.257, and
4.4.257
showed up on the 10th. That should be about enough stability for anybody.
