Linux 4.6-rc3 Kernel Released

Linus Torvalds has done his usual Sunday dance and released the Linux 4.6-rc3 kernel.

Linux 4.6-rc3 is the third weekly test release of the in-development Linux 4.6 kernel. Being well past the merge window, this week was about landing more bug and regression fixes throughout the 21+ million lines in the Linux Git tree.

Those unfamiliar with the new features coming for Linux 4.6 can read our usual kernel feature overview.

Linus Torvalds has yet to send out any 4.6-rc3 announcement on the kernel mailing list but once seeing it hit the wire will update it here. Meanwhile, you can grab the code via Git if you want to help out testing this new kernel version.
