The 5.0 kernel has been released.

Linus has released the 5.0 kernel."But I'dlike to point out (yet again) that we don't do feature-based releases,and that "5.0" doesn't mean anything more than that the 4.x numbersstarted getting big enough that I ran out of fingers and toes."Headline features from this release includethe energy-awarescheduling patch set,a bunch of year-2038 work that comes closeto completing the core-kernel transition,zero-copy networking for UDP traffic,the Adiantum encryption algorithm,the seccomp trap to user space mechanism,and, of course, lots of new drivers and fixes.See the KernelNewbies 5.0page for lots of details.
