Last week Linus Torvalds was rather unsure if there would be an -rc8 but was somewhat leaning for it to be the last release candidate, thus Linux 4.10.0 would have been released today. But instead he's opted to issue 4.10-rc8 and push back the release by one more week to allow for kernel regression/bug fixing activity to calm down while he's also going to be traveling this coming week.
Thus 4.10-rc8 is now available for testing. If you are unfamiliar with the new features of Linux 4.10, see our 4.10 kernel feature overview.
Update: Torvalds' 4.10-rc8 release announcement is now available.
