[Posted June 23, 2021 by corbet]

The current development kernel is 5.13-rc7, released on June 20. Linus proclaimed: "So there's not a huge number of patches in here, and most of the patches are pretty small too. A fair number of one-liners and 'few-liners'. Which is just how I like it."

Stable updates: 5.12.12, 5.10.45, and 5.4.127 were released on June 18, followed by 5.12.13, 5.10.46, and 5.4.128 on June 23.

Note that 5.12.13 and 5.10.46 contain a fix for a significant Spectre vulnerability; stay tuned to LWN for details.
