ULinus Torvalds ukhululwe izolo I-Linux 5.16-rc7, waza waqalisa inqaku lakhe leveki esithi akothusi nabani na ukuba mncinane. Ibisele ingu rc5 yangena I-rc6 Kwaye izinto azitshintshanga kakhulu, kwaye isizathu yimihla esikuyo. Ngaphezulu koko, iKrisimesi kunye no-Eva woNyaka oMtsha ziwela ngoMgqibelo, ngoko ke bobabini abaphuhlisi kunye nabavavanyi abenzi wonke umsebenzi abanokuthi bawenze ngeminye imihla.
Yintoni ethimba ingqalelo ye inqaku I-Linux 5.16-rc7 kukuba iTorvalds ikhankanya ukuba «siya kuhlala ngolo hlobo ubuncinane iiveki ezimbini ezingakumbi«. Bekusele kusaziwa ukuba isantya esicothayo ebesiqhutywa kwezi ntsuku siyakwenza ukuba kufuneke uMgqatswa wesibhozo wokuKhululwa, kodwa oko "ubuncinci" kusenza sicinge ukuba. Akukagqibi isigqibo sokuba kuya kubakho i-rc9.
I-Linux 5.16 iya kufika nge-9 kaJanuwari ... okanye nge-16
Ngokucacileyo, iiholide zisizathu esikhulu sokuba yonke into ibe yincinci, ngoko akusiyo uphawu lokuba sifumene zonke iibhugi, kwaye siya kubambelela kule nto ubuncinane kwiiveki ezimbini. Ndiyathemba ukuba wonke umntu ube neKrisimesi emnandi (okanye faka enye iholide oyithandayo) kwaye ndikunqwenelela unyaka omtsha omnandi kwangaphambili. Kuba ndiyakrokrela ukuba kule veki izayo izobe ithe cwaka nangakumbi kuba _ezinye_ zale veki iphelileyo "sisicelo sam sokugqibela sokutsala phambi kweKrisimesi."
Enye inqaku elibonakalayo kukuba i-patch yongezwe kumqhubi webhodibhodi yePC, enye engeyiyo i-USB kunye ne-hardware endala esayixhasa i-kernel ye-Linux.
Kodwa makungabikho bani uzikhathaza kakhulu. Njengoko uLinus esitsho kwaye sigxininisa, isantya esicothayo sibangelwa yimihla, kwaye "ubuncinci iiveki ezimbini ezingaphezulu" ezinokutsala umdla yile sisanda kungena kuyo kwaye elandelayo, yoMviwa wesibhozo wokukhululwa. Kuyimfuneko kuphela ukuba isingqisho sibuyele kancinci kwaye abafumani kusilela kakhulu kwiLinux 5.16 ukufikelela 9 ngoJanuwari.
