Linus has released the 5.19 kernel.

On a personal note, the most interesting part here is that I didthe release (and am writing this) on an arm64 laptop. It'ssomething I've been waiting for for a _loong_ time, and it'sfinally reality, thanks to the Asahi team. We've had arm64 hardwarearound running Linux for a long time, but none of it has reallybeen usable as a development platform until now.

He also notes that the next kernel is likely to be 6.0.

Significant features in 5.19 includeArm ScalableMatrix Extension support,a number of io_uring improvements,BIG TCP support,numerous random-numbergenerator improvements,support for AMD's SecureNested Paging and Intel's TrustedDomain Extensions mechanisms,support for the Loongson "LoongArch" CPU architecture,a new proactivereclaim mechanism,and more. See the LWN merge-window summaries(part 1,part 2) and the KernelNewbies 5.19 pagefor more information.
