Linus Torvalds announced the release of Linux 5.7. The new kernel includes support for thermal pressure monitoring and frequency invariant scheduler accounting. The latest kernel includes “almost 14 thousand non-merge commits...from close to two thousand developers”.
Linus occasionally shares small personal updates in his announcement mails. In the past month he noted that for the first time in 15 years his latest desktop machine isn’t Intelbased: “No, I didn’t switch to ARM yet, but I’m now rocking an AMD Threadripper 3970x. My ‘allmodconfig’ test builds are now three times faster than they used to be, which doesn’t matter so much right now during the calmingdown period, but I will most definitely notice the upgrade during the next merge window”.
