Linus Torvalds has announced the availability of the seventh release candidate for Linux kernel 6.7, which is a fairly normal, slightly larger-than-rc6 release. The eighth release candidate will be available next weekend, with the final release coming in January.

Linux kernel 6.7-rc7 released

Normally I do rc releases on a Sunday afternoon, but since tomorrow is Xmas Eve, and the festivities will have started (or at least I'll be driving to the store a few times for everything that we forgot - not a year has passed without _some_ last-minute "Oh, we need ..."), I'm doing rc7 on a Saturday instead.

As as I already mentioned in an earlier email or two, while things look fine and we *could* release a final 6.7 next weekend as per the usual schedule, I'm not going to do that. It's the holidays, lots of people have already been off for a week or more, and plan on being off for the upcoming week (or more).

So next weekend is going to be rc8, and I expect that it will be small as nobody should be around.

And then we might get back to a more normal schedule the week after. Maybe.

Anyway, rc7 itself looks fairly normal. It's actually a bit bigger than rc6 was, but not hugely so, and nothing in here looks at all strange. Please do give it a whirl if you have the time and the energy, but let's face it, I expect things to be very quiet and this to be one of those "nothing happens" weeks. Because even if you aren't celebrating this time of year, you might take advantage of the peace and quiet.
