Kernel prepatch 5.13-rc1 The first 5.13 kernel prepatch is out for testing, and the merge window is closed for this development cycle. " This was - as expected - a fairly big merge window, but things seem
to have proceeded fairly smoothly. Famous last words." In the end, 14,231 non-merge changesets were pulled into the mainline during the merge window — more than were seen during the entire 5.12 cycle. | | 3:13p |
Security updates for Monday
Security updates have been issued by Debian (libxml2), Fedora (autotrace, babel, kernel, libopenmpt, libxml2, mingw-exiv2, mingw-OpenEXR, mingw-openexr, python-markdown2, and samba), openSUSE (alpine, avahi, libxml2, p7zip, redis, syncthing, and vlc), and Ubuntu (webkit2gtk). | | 8:30p |
[$] The second half of the 5.13 merge window By the time the last pull request was acted on and 5.13-rc1was released, a total of 14,231 non-merge commits had found their way into the mainline. That makes the 5.13 merge window larger than the entire 5.12 development cycle (13,015 commits) and just short of all of 5.11 (14,340). In other words, 5.13 looks like one of the busier development cycles we have seen for a little while. About 6,400 of these commits came in after the
first-half summary was written, and they include a number of significant new features. | | 8:39p |
DragonFly BSD 6.0 DragonFly BSD 6.0 has been released. " This version has a revamped VFS caching system, various filesystem updates including HAMMER2, and a long list of userland updates." |
