ONGOING DEVELOPMENT
Linus Torvalds announced the release of Linux kernel 6.2-rc8, noting that the “6.2 series continues to be fairly calm, and the only real reason for an RC8 is – as now mentioned several times – just to make up for some time during the holiday season”. Since there’s an RC8, this means that the merge window (two-week period of time during which disruptive changes are allowed into the kernel) for what will be 6.3 won’t open for a bit longer. We will have a full summary of the 6.3 merge window in the next issue.
