    Exim 4.92.3 security release
    Exim 4.92.3 has been released with a fix for CVE-2019-16928, a heap-based
    buffer overflow in string_vformat that could lead to remote code
    execution. "The currently known exploit uses a extraordinary long
    EHLO string to crash the Exim process that is receiving the message. While
    at this mode of operation Exim already dropped its privileges, other paths to
    reach the vulnerable code may exist.    "

    The 5.4-rc1 kernel is out
    Linus has tagged the 5.4-rc1 release, thus ending the merge window for this
    development cycle. An apparent linux-kernel outage means that there is no
    announcement to post yet; we'll do that as soon as it becomes available.
    Meanwhile, though, everything can be seen in his repository.
    7:34p
    [$] 5.4 Merge window, part 2
    The release of the 5.4-rc1 kernel and the closing of the merge window for
    this development cycle came one day later than would have normally been
    expected. By that time, 12,554 non-merge changesets had been pulled
    into the mainline repository; that's nearly 2,900 since the first-week summary was written. That
    relatively small number of changes belies the amount of interesting change
    that arrived late in the merge window, though; read on for the full list.
    7:40p
    TensorFlow 2.0.0
    Version
    2.0.0     of the TensorFlow machine-learning system is out. Headline
    features include the "Keras" high-level API, support for distributed
    training, and more, including a number of API-breaking changes.
