Kungashiwo okufanayo ngokukhishwa kwenguqulo ezinzile, kodwa ngomehluko omncane kakhulu: uma kunokuthile okufanele kulungiswe, Kukhululwa Umuntu Okhethiwe Wesishiyagalombili ukuze alungise futhi usuku luhlehliselwe emuva. Kuke kwaba nezikhathi ezine-novena, kodwa ukukhishwa kwe-RC kuphuma njalo ngeSonto njengomthetho ojwayelekile, kususwa eyodwa yewindi le-fusion. Futhi okwafika ngeSonto ntambama kwaba I-Linux 6.9-rc2.
Futhi uLinus Torvalds uhlala ehamba phambili. «Iqhwa, noma imvula, noma ukushisa, noma ubumnyama be-RC stop stop. Iviki Elingcwele futhi", qala inothi lapho kungenjalo kuningi okumele sikugqamise. Iningi lomsebenzi owenziwe ku-Linux 6.9-rc2 ushiywe ukulungiswa, ikakhulukazi abashayeli. I-RC evamile kakhulu futhi, nakuba uyise wephengwini engakusho, kungase kuhlobene nezinsuku esikuzo.
I-Linux 6.9 izofika maphakathi noMeyi
«Ngakho sesilapha. Sekudlule elinye isonto kanti i-rc2 isiyatholakala. Akukho okuphawulekayo, futhi ukulungiswa kusabalele (abaningi bangabashayeli, ngoba iningi lamakhodi).
Ngaphandle kokulungiswa komshayeli, sinomsebenzi owengeziwe wokuzihlola (ikakhulukazi inethiwekhi kanye ne-bpf kodwa futhi nokulungiswa okuthile okungahleliwe), ukulungiswa kwezakhiwo ezithile (ikakhulukazi i-x86), umsebenzi othile wesistimu yefayela (xfs kanye nama-btrfs) nomsindo ongahleliwe kwenye indawo (mm, kernel. core, networking, Kbuild…).
Linux 6.9 izofika maphakathi noMeyi, ngomhla ka-12 uma umjikelezo wokuthuthukiswa ujwayelekile futhi ngomhla ka-19 uma kudingeka i-RC yesishiyagalombili. Uma ekugcineni kufanele kwethulwe i-novena engingakhumbuli ukuthi ngake ngayibona, nakuba uTorvalds ethi sezikhona, izofika nangoMeyi, kodwa kulokhu zingama-26.
Abasebenzisi be-Ubuntu abancamela ukuhlala ku-kernel yesistimu yokusebenza, into esiyincomayo lapha, akufanele bakhathazeke kancane ngosuku olulodwa noma olunye. Ubuntu 24.04 Noble Numbat uzofika ngomhla ka-25, futhi uzokwenza kanjalo nge-Linux 6.8. Uhlelo lweCanonical luzohlala kuleyo kernel, oluvuselelwe yinkampani efanayo, okungenani kuze kube ngu-Okthoba, lapho i-Ubuntu 24.10 izofika ne-kernel ezoba phakathi kuka-6.10 no-6.11. Abasebenzisi abafuna ukufaka i-kernel eyethula i-Torvalds futhi igcine ikhompuyutha yabo bangakwenza lokho besebenzisa amathuluzi afana I-Mainline Kernels.
