Kernel devs offer emperor penguin early gifts of code for version 6.2
Linus Torvalds has announced an eighth release candidate for version 6.1 of the Linux kernel.
The emperor penguin last week worried that work on this cut of the kernel had not slowed down, so suggested it might need to stretch beyond his preferred seven release candidates.
In his weekly state of the kernel post, Torvalds released rc8 and thanked developers for settling down.
«So we’ve finally started calming down, and rc8 is noticeably smaller than previous release candidates,» he wrote. «So everything looks good, and while the calming down may have happened later than I wished for, it did happen.
