Izolo ngeSonto, isivele ikushejuli evamile ngemuva Abakhethiwe ababili bokuqala, uLinus Torvalds waphonsa I-Linux 5.17-rc3. Ngokusho komthuthukisi waseFinland, ezinsukwini eziyisikhombisa ezedlule yonke into ibilokhu ijwayelekile kakhulu, ngokuzibophezela okuningi okuwela ngaphakathi kwesilinganiso. Yebo kube nomsebenzi omningi ohlelweni lwefayela, nomsebenzi ohlukahlukene kakhulu, kodwa ngokujwayelekile akukho okuzokhathaza ubaba we-Linux.
Nakuba iqiniso liwukuthi i-Torvalds ayivamile ukubonakala (noma kunalokho "funda") ikhathazekile. Okuvame ukuveza kakhulu isidingo sokwethula Ikhandidethi Yokukhululwa Kwesishiyagalombili, futhi kwesinye isikhathi kunezinto angazithandi, kodwa uhlezi enomuzwa wokuthi ulawula konke. Lokhu ukuthuthukiswa kwe-Linux 5.17, nakuba konke kungashintsha emasontweni amane alandelayo.
I-Linux 5.17 izokwethula ukusekelwa okuningi kwehadiwe entsha
I-diffstat ibonisa ukuthi sibe nomsebenzi omningi wesistimu yefayela kunokuvamile. Umsebenzi we-Filesystem uhluke kakhulu, kusukela ekwethulweni kabusha kosekelo lwe-fscache ngama-cifs ngemva kokubhalwa kabusha, kuya ku-vfs-level bugfixes, kuya ekulungisweni okuqondene nohlelo lwefayela (btrfs, ext4, xfs), nokunye ukuhlanzwa kwe-unicode ye-Kconfig. Ngakho-ke akuyona nje into eyodwa, kuvele kwenzeka ukuthi sibe nezinto eziningi zesistimu yefayela kunezivamile okwamanje. Sesikushilo lokho, ukulungiswa kwabashayeli (inethiwekhi, i-gpu, umsindo, ukulawula amaphinikhodi, abashayeli bepulatifomu, i-scsi, njll.) kusabusa. Ohlangothini lomshayeli, okunye ukuguqulwa ukuze kunikwe amandla kabusha ukuskrola okusheshisiwe kwe-hw kumadivayisi wefa le-fbdev mhlawumbe kuvelele.
I-Linux 5.17-rc3 iyi-RC yesithathu ye-5.17, i-Linux kernel ezokhishwa ngoMashi 13.
