Njengoko kulindelekile ngu imeyile ngeveki ukusuka kwiintsuku ezisixhenxe ezidlulileyo, uLinus Torvalds uye ikhutshwe ngale mva kwemini iLinux 5.3-rc8. Kwaye inguqulo yangaphambili, uMgqatswa wesixhenxe wokuKhupha kwi-instovement elandelayo ye-Linux kernel, yayinkulu kunesiqhelo, ngokuyinxenye ngenxa yokuba yafika emva kosuku, nto leyo eyanika utata kaLinux ixesha lokujonga ezinye izicelo ezimbalwa. Kungelo xesha apho uTorvalds wathi kwakuyimfuneko ukuba kukhululwe uMgqatswa wesibhozo wokuKhululwa okhoyo ngoku.
Esinye isizathu sokuba iqaliswe lo rc8 kukuba iTorvalds iza kwenza iihambo ezininzi kule veki ukuya kwiNkomfa yeePlumbers zeLinux kunye neNgqungquthela yeKernel. Injongo yayikukuphepha ukuvula ifestile yokudibanisa ye Linux 5.4 ngexesha apho ebengayi kugxila kakhulu njengoko ebefanele ukuwenza ngenxa yohambo ekufuneka eluhambile kwiintsuku ezisixhenxe ezizayo.
I-Linux 5.3-rc8, uMviwa wokugqibela wokuKhupha ngaphambi koguqulelo oluzinzile
Kwaye ngokuyinxenye ngenxa yeveki eyongezelelweyo, saba nezisombululo ezithile mhlawumbi beziya kulibaziseka kwaye ziphawulwe njengezizinzileyo. EEyona nto iphawulekayo (kodwa ndiyathemba ukuba ayiqapheleki kakhulu) kukulungisa imeko yogqatso kwi-configfs. Oko akuyi kuchaphazela abantu abaninzi, nge configfs ayisetyenziswa kakhulu, kodwa uChristoph no-Al bayivile yayifuna ukulungiswa.
Ukuthintela ukothuka ngendlela yokubuyisela umva, iLinux 5.3 iya kukhutshwa ngokusemthethweni Nge-15 ezayo kaSeptemba. Iya kuba yinguqulelo kunye iindaba ezininzi ezinomdla, njengenkxaso ephuculweyo ye-Apple MacBooks, Inkxaso yokuqala yetekhnoloji ye-Intel Speed Select kwiiprosesa zeCascadelake okanye i-UBIFS ngoku ixhasa ucinezelo lwenkqubo yefayile ye-Zstd. Ukuba uyazibuza, hayi, ayizukufumaneka ngokungagqibekanga kuguqulelo oluzayo lwe-Ubuntu oluya kukhutshwa ngeLinux 5.2. Ukuba ixesha liyeza sifuna ukusebenzisa iLinux 5.3, kuya kufuneka senze ufakelo lwemanuwali.
