Can anybody add context on why this is newsworthy? The linked email isn't very informative. Is there an awaited new feature in 6.5 that makes this email (which is not even an actual announcement of the release) noteworthy?
- skilled 3y agoYou're right, for the layman it's a pretty boring announcement, but that's how Linus has always done all releases so for people who know, it's not a surprise. The Linux development ecosystem is extremely tightknit with a lot of people working on various different things, and unless you're using the Kernel for a specific thing, then yeah - none of the logs, shortlogs and release files are going to make any sense, because for the most part - they don't make any sense for anyone who isn't specifically using that part of the Kernel personally.
