securitybreach Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 After eight Release Candidate builds, just a few minutes ago, Linus Torvalds announced the release and immediate availability for download of the final version of Linux kernel 4.2. We remind you that Linux kernel 4.2 is one of the biggest kernels in recent times, as Mr. Torvalds wrote back when the first RC version was announced. It introduces all sorts of interesting things, such as rewrites of Intel Assembly x86 code, support for a new ARM board, F2FS per-file encryption, NCQ TRIM handling, Jitter RNG improvements, an all-new AMD GPU driver, queue spinlocks, and many other updated drivers and performance improvements. "So judging by how little happened this week, it wouldn't have been a mistake to release 4.2 last week after all, but hey, there's certainly a few fixes here, and it's not like delaying 4.2 for a week should have caused any problems either," says Linus Torvalds. "So here it is, and the merge window for 4.3 is now open. I already have a few pending early pull requests, but as usual I'll start processing them tomorrow and give the release some time to actually sit.".... http://news.softpedi...en-490444.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
