Linux 4.4-rc5 Kernel Released

Written by Michael Larabel in Linux Kernel on 13 December 2015 at 09:04 PM EST. 3 Comments

Linus Torvalds has just tagged the fifth weekly release candidate for the Linux 4.4 kernel.

Linus has yet to send out his usual weekly RC release announcement but in monitoring the activity over the past week, it's been a fairly normal week of bug fixing and related changes.

The daily Git code continues to be benchmarked at LinuxBenchmarking.com and a list of Linux 4.4 features can be found via our feature overview. If trends hold, Linux 4.4.0 will be officially released in two to three weeks.
