emva kwenye Umviwa wokuqala wokuKhululwa epapashwe ngoMvulo, I-Linux 5.4-rc2 ubuyile ngeeCawe. Umyili wayo, uLinus Torvalds, uthe kwiveki ephelileyo ukuba isizathu sokuba ikhutshwe ngoMvulo yayingengayo nayiphi na into ekhethekileyo okanye nantoni na enokukhathazeka ngayo, kodwa kungenxa yeenkqubo ezahlukeneyo. Kule veki, le shedyuli ibuyele kwimeko yayo yendalo, ke ngoko baneentsuku ezintandathu zokuzilungiselela endaweni yesixhenxe esiqhelekileyo.
I-Linux 5.4-rc2 ibonakala ngathi yeyona ikhethiweyo yoKhululwa kwiinyanga. Iindaba kukuba akukho zindaba, akukho nto igqwesileyo ngaphaya koko isungulwe ngeCawe, kwaye ezi ziindaba kuphela kuba uMgqatswa woKhululwa wokuqala wakhutshwa ngeCawa. Kodwa into eyinyani yile, njengoko Injongo I-Torvalds, i-rc2s zihlala zithule kwaye kuya kufuneka ulinde ixesha kunye neenguqulelo ukuze kufunyanwe iingxaki.
I-Linux 5.4-rc2 incinci kwakhona, emva kwee-rc2 ezinkulu ze-5.2 kunye no-5.3
I-Linux 5.4-rc2 ubuyile waba yiCandiate yokuKhululwa encinci, njengoko beqhele ukuba njalo kwaye hayi njengoko babenjalo ngo-5.2 naku-5.3. UTorvalds uthi esinye sezizathu esizikhankanyileyo ngasentla kule migca: kubekho usuku olunye lomsebenzi. Kwezi zintandathu babenazo, bajongile uhlaziyo lwezakhiwo, abaqhubi kunye nezinto ezahlukeneyo (kmv, iinethiwekhi, iinkqubo zefayile, i-kernel, njl.

Ayizukubandakanya iindaba ezininzi ezibalulekileyo njenge I-Linux kernel v5.3, kodwa iya kongeza imodyuli entsha yokhuseleko eya kuthi, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ithintele umsebenzisi okhohlakeleyo ekusebenziseni ukusilela kwenkqubo yokwenza ikhowudi ekude, into abayibize ngokuba yiLockdown. Umsebenzi uza kwenziwa ungasebenzi ngokungagqibekanga kwaye iya kuba kukusasazwa okuya kuba noxanduva lokuthatha isigqibo sokuvula okanye ukungasebenzi.
