• [$] The first half of the 7.0 merge window

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Sat Feb 14 06:40:09 2026


    The merge window for Linux 7.0 has opened, and with it
    comes a number of interesting improvements and enhancements. At the time of writing, there have been 7,695 non-merge commits accepted. The 7.0 release is not special,

    according to the kernel's versioning scheme - just the release
    that comes after 6.19. Humans love symbolism and round numbers, though, so it may feel like something of a milestone.
