Linux Kernel 4.2 has been released, which is the largest version of Linus Torvalds recently released, an increase of more than 1 million lines of code to remove approximately 25 million lines of code. Major new features include: new AMDGPU drive; Intel Broxton support; improved NCQ TRIM process; F2FS file system encryption; rewriting the part of Intel's x86 assembler code; LSM Stacking; gradient delay network congestion control algorithm; Improved write-back management control group and many more.
The following comes from the mailing list:
So judging by how little happened this week, it would not have been a mistake to release 4.2 last week after all, but hey, there's certainly a few fixes here, and it's not like delaying 4.2 for a week should have caused any problems either .
So here it is, and the merge window for 4.3 is now open. I already have a few pending early pull requests, but as usual I'll start processing them tomorrow and give the release some time to actually sit.
