Ngemuva kwalokho Linux 5.14, isikhathi sesifikile sokuthuthukisa uhlobo olulandelayo lwe-kernel. Emahoreni ambalwa adlule, uLinus Torvalds Usungule I-Linux 5.15-rc1, ongalindeli ukuba uchungechunge olukhulu ngoba azikho iziphakamiso eziningi noma izithembiso ezitholakele. Eqinisweni, unjiniyela waseFinland uqinisekisa ukuthi lena yi-rc1 encane kunazo zonke ochungechungeni lwe-5, futhi akumele sikhohlwe ukuthi kube nezingu-15 ezedlule.
Phakathi kokuzofakwa kule nguqulo ye-Linux kernel kugqamisa okusha Umshayeli we-NTFS, uhlelo lwefayela le-Microsoft, kanye ne-FAT ne-exFAT, olusetshenziswa kakhulu kuzo zonke izinhlobo zamadrayivu afana namapeni wokushayela noma amakhadi we-SD, yize ezimweni eziningi athengiswa ngefomethi ye-exFAT futhi ngabasebenzisi abaguqulela ku-NTFS .
I-Linux 5.15-rc1 yi-RC encane kunazo zonke ochungechungeni lwe-5
Ngakho-ke i-5.15 ayakheki ibe yinguqulo enkulu kakhulu, okungenani ngenani lezithembiso. Ngokwenza okungaphezu kuka-10.000 okungafakwanga, empeleni le yi-rc1 encane kunazo zonke esibe nazo ochungechungeni lwe-5.x. Imvamisa sizungeze izinkulungwane eziyi-12-14. Lokho kusho, ukubala ukwenziwa akusona isilinganiso esihle kunazo zonke, futhi lokho kungaba yiqiniso ikakhulukazi kulokhu. Sinezinhlelo ezimbalwa ezingaphansi, ikakhulukazi i-NTFSv3 ne-ksmbd. Futhi ngenxa yalokho, lapho ubheka izibalo ngesisekelo "semigqa eshintshiwe", i-5.15-rc1 igcina isibukeka iphakathi kakhulu. Akubukeki njengewindi lokuhlanganisa _large_ ikakhulukazi okwamanje, kepha akusilo nakude okuncane kakhulu.
Uma ingekho i-octave RC, iLinux 5.15 izokhishwa ngo-Okthoba 24, okwenza kube nzima ukufinyelela i-Ubuntu 21.10 Impish Indri ezohlala ngendlela yohlobo oluzinzile ngo-Okthoba 14. Ngaleso sikhathi, noma ngubani ofuna ukusebenzisa inguqulo entsha ye-kernel kuzofanele ayifake yedwa, into engingayincomi mina uqobo ngaphandle kokuthi ikhompyutha esiyisebenzisayo inenkinga enkulu.
