    [$] 5.7 Merge window part 1
    As of this writing, 7,233 non-merge changesets have been pulled into the
    mainline repository for the 5.7 kernel development cycle — over the course
    of about three days. If current world conditions are slowing down kernel
    development, it would seem that the results are not yet apparent at this
    level. As usual, these changesets bring no end of fixes, improvements, and
    new features; read on for a summary of what the first part of the 5.7 merge
    window has brought in.

    Firefox 74.0.1
    Firefox 74.0.1 has been released with two
    security fixes
    . CVE-2020-6819 is a use-after-free when running the
    nsDocShell destructor and CVE-2020-6820 is a use-after-free when handling a
    ReadableStream. In both cases there have been targeted attacks in the wild
    abusing these flaws. These issues have also been fixed in Firefox ESR 68.6.1.
