Kernel release status
The current development kernel is 5.14-rc2, released
on July 18. Linus said:
At least in pure number of commits, this is the biggest rc2 we've had during the 5.x cycle. Whether that is meaningful or not, who knows - it might be just random timing effects, or it might indicate that this release is not going to be one of those nice and calm ones. We'll just have to wait and see.
In total, 421 non-merge changesets were pulled into the mainline between -rc1 and -rc2.
Stable updates: 5.13.3, 5.12.18, 5.10.51, and 5.4.133 were released on July 19; the
large 5.13.4,
5.12.19,
5.10.52,
5.4.134,
4.19.198,
4.14.240,
4.9.276, and
4.4.276 followed one day later. The second
set includes the fix for the just-disclosed local root vulnerability. Note that the
5.12.x series ends with the 5.12.19 release.
