Linux 6.4 Debuts After Literally Unremarkable Development Push
The Register, Monday, June 26,2023
Version 6.4 of the Linux kernel has debuted, after an exemplary development push.
Penguin emperor Linus Torvalds on Sunday announced the release without making any comment at all on the state of the kernel, or the efforts that led to the release of this version. Indeed, he had little to say about the progress of version 6.4: The Register reads his weekly missive in which he discusses progress, points out development bottlenecks, and debates whether extra release candidates might be needed.
But he had nothing to say across the seven release candidates issued for version 6.4, and launched the new kernel by writing: "Hmm. Final week of 6.4 is done, and we've mainly got some netfilter fixes, some mm reverts, and a few tracing updates."
