5.12 merge window, part 2
5.12 merge window, part 2
The 5.12 merge window closed with the release of 5.12-rc1 on February 28; this released followed the normal schedule despite the fact that Linus Torvalds had been without power for the first six days after 5.11 came out. At that point, 10,886 non-merge changesets had found their way into the mainline repository; about 2,000 of those showed up after the first-half merge-window summary was written. The pace of merging obviously slowed down, but there were still a number of interesting features to be found in those patches.
