Linux 6.12-rc3 Released With Some Late NTFS Driver Enhancements


Linux 6.12-rc3 is out today as expected as the newest weekly release candidate in working Linux 6.12 toward a stable release in November.

With Linux 6.12-rc3 there is a lot more bug/regression fixing to land as more developers and users test out this latest kernel code. There weren't any NTFS3 changes submitted during the Linux 6.12 merge window but Linus Torvalds ended up allowing this late pull request to land. We've got all the usual driver updates (gpu and networking dominating as usual, but there's some minor updates in USB, fbdev, mmc, thermal...), some filesystem fixes (xfs, smb client, and ntfs3), some core networking, and some tooling (selftests and some perf trace include file refresh).
