Linux 6.16-rc7 Released: "I Think We're In Good Shape"


The seventh weekly release candidate of Linux 6.16 is now availablr for testing with the stable release debuting hopefully next Sunday otherwise the following week.

Linus Torvalds wrote in the 6.16-rc7 announcement:"So last week started very quiet and that always makes me happy. A lot of single-fix pulls, and while rc7 isn't the tiny release it looked like mid-week, it's also not really any bigger than usual. Nothing really stands out - the biggest patches in here are for some documentation and self-tests or tooling, not actual kernel code changes.
