Linux 3.18-rc5 Is A Bit Heavy On Changes
Coming out today is the fifth release candidate to the Linux 3.18 kernel. While last week Torvalds was happy with the state of 3.18-rc4, with 3.18-rc5 there are more changes than the previous release candidate.
While there's an uptick in changes merged this past week, -rc4 was a smaller release and Linus classifies this week's changes as not particularly "odd or scary" with the usual churn of regression/bug fixes. This latest update includes support for building with GCC 5 (and LLVM Clang SVN) that otherwise default to building with the GNU11/C11 C language standard.
The brief Linux 3.18-rc5 announcement can be read as always on the Indiana kernel mailing list. Linux 3.18 final is still a few weeks away but has a lot of new features.
