    Kernel prepatch 5.5-rc5 and stable updates
    The 5.5-rc5 kernel prepatch has been released. Linus added a note to the release announcement: "One sad piece of news I got this past week was that Bruce Evans has passed away. Bruce wasn't really ever really much directly involved in Linux development - he was active on the BSD side - but he was the developer behind Minix/i386, which was what I used for the original Linux development in the very early days before Linux became self-hosting."

    On the stable-update side, 5.4.8, 4.19.93, 4.14.162, 4.9.208, and 4.4.208 are all available with another set of important fixes.
