U-Linus Torvalds ukhishwe izolo I-Linux 5.16-rc7, wabe eseqala incwadi yakhe yamasonto onke ethi akumangazi muntu ukuthi mncane. Bekuvele ku-rc5 futhi kungene i-rc6 Futhi izinto azishintshanga kakhulu, futhi isizathu yizinsuku esikuzo. Phezu kwalokho, uKhisimusi noNcibijane oba ngoMgqibelo, ngakho bobabili abathuthukisi nabahloli abenzi wonke umsebenzi abebezokwenza ngezinye izinsuku.
Yini edonsa amehlo ka inothi I-Linux 5.16-rc7 ukuthi i-Torvalds isho ukuthi «sizohlala kanjalo amasonto amabili ngaphezulu«. Bekuvele kwaziwa ukuthi ukuhamba kancane obekwenziwa kulezi zinsuku kuzokwenza kube nesidingo somuntu ophumayo wesishiyagalombili, kodwa lokho "okungenani" kusenza sicabange ukuthi. Ayikanqumi ukuthi izoba khona yini i-rc9.
I-Linux 5.16 izofika ngoJanuwari 9 ... noma 16
Ngokusobala, amaholide ayisizathu esikhulu sokuthi yonke into ibe encane, ngakho-ke akulona uphawu lokuthi sithole zonke izimbungulu, futhi sizobe sinamathela kulokhu okungenani amasonto amabili ngaphezulu. Ngethemba ukuthi wonke umuntu ube noKhisimusi omuhle (noma faka elinye iholide olithandayo) futhi ngikufisela unyaka omusha ojabulisayo kusengaphambili. Ngoba ngisola ukuthi ngesonto elizayo kuzobe kuthule kakhulu njengoba okungenani _okunye_ kwaleli sonto eledlule bekuwukuthi "lesi isicelo sami sokugcina sokudonsa ngaphambi kukaKhisimusi."
Elinye iphuzu eligqamayo ukuthi isichibi sengeziwe somshayeli wekhibhodi ye-PC, okungeyona i-USB kanye nehardware endala esasekela i-Linux kernel.
Kodwa makungabikho muntu okhathazeka kakhulu. Njengoba uLinus esho futhi sigcizelela, ukuhamba kancane kungenxa yezinsuku, nokuthi "okungenani amasonto amabili ngaphezulu" angadonsa ukunaka yilena esisanda kungena kuyo kanye nelandelayo, eyoMhlomuli Wokukhishwa Kwesishiyagalombili.
