    Kernel prepatch 5.10-rc6
    The 5.10-rc6 kernel prepatch is out.
    "So I'm feeling pretty good about 5.10, and I hope I won't be proven
    wrong about that. But please do test.    "
    2:22p
    PHP 8.0.0 released
    Version 8.0.0 of the PHP language has been released. New features include
    union types, named arguments, match expressions, a just-in-time compiler,
    and more; see this article for more
    information.
    4:27p
    Security updates for Monday
    Security updates have been issued by Arch Linux (c-ares, libass, raptor, rclone, and swtpm), Debian (libproxy, qemu, tcpflow, and x11vnc), Fedora (asterisk, c-ares, microcode_ctl, moodle, pam, tcpdump, and webkit2gtk3), Mageia (jruby and webkit2), openSUSE (buildah, c-ares, ceph, fontforge, java-1_8_0-openjdk, kernel, LibVNCServer, mariadb, thunderbird, ucode-intel, and wireshark), Red Hat (firefox, rh-mariadb103-mariadb and rh-mariadb103-galera, and thunderbird), SUSE (binutils, libssh2_org, LibVNCServer, libX11, and nodejs12), and Ubuntu (mysql-8.0 and qemu).

    pip 20.3 release
    The Python Packaging Authority has announced the release of pip 20.3. There
    is some potential for disruption with this release. "The new resolver is now *on by default*. It is significantly stricter
    and more consistent when it receives incompatible instructions, and
    reduces support for certain kinds of constraints files, so some
    workarounds and workflows may break.    "

    [$] Scheduling for asymmetric Arm systems
    The Arm processor architecture has pushed the boundaries in a number of
    ways, some of which have required significant kernel changes in response.
    For example, the big.LITTLE architecture
    placed fast (but power-hungry) and slower (but more power-efficient) CPUs
    in the same system-on-chip (SoC); significant scheduler changes were needed
    for Linux to be able to properly distribute tasks on such systems. For all
    their quirkiness, big.LITTLE systems still feature CPUs that are in some
    sense identical: they can all run any task in the system. What is the
    scheduler to do, though, if confronted with a system where that is no
    longer true?
