Kungase kudide, kodwa kunjalo. Into eyodwa ubukhulu ngokwesisindo, kanti enye umsebenzi owenziwe, izinguquko ezethulwa noma inani «izibopho» ezibhekiswe. Kusekugcineni lapho I-Linux 5.18-rc6 uyagqama, kuze kube yilapho uLinus Torvalds esho kweyakhe imeyili yamasonto onke ukuthi i-5.18 izoba enye yokukhishwa okukhulu kakhulu ezikhathini zamuva, khona kanye ne-Linux 5.14, kodwa ngaphansi kwe-Linux 5.13.
Noma kunjalo, i-Torvalds iyaqhubeka, nakuba iwindi le-fusion liselikhulu, usayizi Walabo Abazokhishwa kulolu chungechunge babe ne usayizi onesizotha, okuwumkhuba oqhubekile ne-Linux 5.18-rc6. Zingase zibe khona izinguquko, kodwa kubonakala sengathi ukuziphatha okuvamile kwe-Linux 5.18 kuhamba kahle.
I-Linux 5.18 izofika ngoMeyi 22
Ngakho-ke i-5.18 ibukeka sengathi izoba ngenye yokukhishwa okukhulu kakhulu ngokuya ngenani lokuzibophezela (sizobona ukuthi igcinaphi; njengamanje izolingana no-5.14, kodwa hhayi enkulu njengo-5.13). Kepha noma iwindi le-fusion likhulu, abazokhululwa bavame ukuba nosayizi onesizotha, futhi i-rc6 iyaqhubeka nalowo mkhuba. yeboNgisalinde ukuthi esinye isicathulo sehle, kepha i-5.18 ibonakala ibambe kahle kakhulu.
Ake sibone ukuthi lokhu kuyakuhlukumeza yini, kodwa akukho okubonakala kuthusa kakhulu. I-rc6 ibonakala iyizibuyekezo zomshayeli (izishayeli zenethiwekhi kanye ne-rdma ziyagqama, ukulungiswa okuncane okungahleliwe kwenye indawo), nezibuyekezo ezimbalwa ezijwayelekile zezakhiwo (ukulungiswa kwe-kvm x86, kodwa futhi nenkinga yokusetshenziswa kwe-FP ye-x86 kernel osekunesikhathi eside ikhona, kanye idlanzana le-parisc kanye nokulungiswa kwe-powerpc). Futhi ezinye izibuyekezo ku-wireguard selftest.
I-Linux 5.18 kulindeleke ukuthi ifike isesimweni senguqulo ezinzile ngokulandelayo 22 ngoMeyi, ngaphandle uma kufanele bethule okungenani i-RC8 eyodwa, uma kunjalo izofika ngoMeyi 27. Abasebenzisi be-Ubuntu abafuna ukuyifaka ngaso leso sikhathi bazodinga ukuzenzela noma ngokusebenzisa amathuluzi afana nalawa Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Isifaki.
