Linux 4.12-rc7 Released: Final Might Come In One Week
Linus Torvalds has announced Linux 4.12-rc7 with what could be the final release candidate prior to declaring the stable Linux 4.12 kernel.
Linus wrote in the rc7 announcement, "It's fairly small, and there were no huge surprises, so if nothing untoward happens this upcoming week, this will be the final rc. But as usual, I reserve the right to just drag things out if I end up feeling uncomfortable about things for any reason including just random gut feelings, so we'll see...Outside of arch and drivers, we've got some generic networking fixes, scripts, and some core kernel fixlets, including a couple of fixups to the stack gap patch from last rc."
