Time	Event
2:53a	Kernel prepatch 5.15-rc1 Linus has released 5.15-rc1 and closed the merge window for this development cycle. So 5.15 isn't shaping up to be a particularly large release, at least in number of commits. At only just over 10k non-merge commits, this is in fact the smallest rc1 we have had in the 5.x series. We're usually hovering in the 12-14k commit range. That said, counting commits isn't necessarily the best measure, and that might be particularly true this time around. We have a few new subsystems, with NTFSv3 and ksmbd standing out. (Comment on this)
1:32p	GDB 11.1 released Version 11.1 of the GDB debugger is out. There are a number of new features, and somebody will surely be disappointed to see that support for debugging Arm Symbian programs has been removed. (Comment on this)

4:14p	[$] The rest of the 5.15 merge window Linus Torvalds released 5.15-rc1 and closed the merge window for this release on September 12; at that point, 10,471 non-merge changesets had found their way into the mainline repository. Those changesets contain a lot of significant changes and improvements. Read on for a summary of what came into the mainline in the roughly 7,000 changesets pulled since our first-half summary was written. (Comment on this)
5:50p	A disagreement over the PostgreSQL trademark This release on PostgreSQL.org describes an ongoing disagreement over the PostgreSQL trademark: In 2020, the PostgreSQL Core Team was made aware that an organization had filed applications to register the 'PostgreSQL' and 'PostgreSQL Community' trademarks in the European Union and the United States, and had already registered trademarks in Spain. The organization, a 3rd party not-for-profit corporation in Spain called 'Fundación PostgreSQL,' did not give any indication to the PostgreSQL Core Team or PGCAC that they would file these applications.
