The 7.2 kernel has been released.Linus said:

Well, this last week of the release was - once again - bigger thanI would have wished for, but hey, with the whole "new normal"thing, if I delayed releases for that reason we'd probably neverhave a release at all.

Significant features in this release includecommonattributes support in the bpf() system call,cache-aware load balancing for the CPUscheduler,large-folio support in the Btrfs filesystem,further swap subsystem improvements,improvements to the Landlock security module,support for block devices with inline encryption hardware via the dm-inlinecryptdevice-mapper target, and much more.See the LWN merge window summaries(part1, part2) and the KernelNewbies 7.2 pagefor more information.
