Linus Torvalds Announces Linux 6.0‑rc5 Release with Driver Updates and Bug Fixes
Linus Torvalds released the fifth release candidate of Linux 6.0, highlighting numerous driver updates, documentation improvements, filesystem patches, and assorted bug fixes, while noting that the stable version is slated for an October launch.
Linus Torvalds published the fifth release candidate of Linux 6.0 (Linux 6.0‑rc5), a regular mid‑cycle testing build that includes a variety of errors and regression fixes, and the overall progress toward a stable 6.0 release remains smooth.
In the announcement, Linus wrote:
During the rc5 window, the number of commits and diffstat look fairly normal. More than half of the changes are driver‑related: GPU, rdma, iommu, networking, sound, scsi… basically everything. The rest are typical random fixes, with i2c documentation standing out, along with various device‑tree updates, some filesystem repairs (btrfs and erofs), core networking tweaks, and tool improvements (performance and self‑tests).
The Linux 6.0 stable version is scheduled for release in October.
