Linux Kernel 6.18 Released, This Is What’s New (linuxiac.com)

Linux kernel 6.18 brings expanded architecture support, BPF updates, new namespace file-handle features, and wide-ranging hardware enablement across CPUs, GPUs, and sensors.

Linus Torvalds has just announced the official release of the new Linux kernel 6.18.

“So I’ll have to admit that I’d have been happier with slightly less bugfixing noise in this last week of the release, but while there’s a few more fixes than I would hope for, there was nothing that made me feel like this needs more time to cook. So 6.18 is tagged and pushed out.”

Fortunately, sounds like he is - a lot of the mediation issues from prior disputes are now prevented, at least from what I hear from my programmer friends.

I personally haven't contributed to the kernel, but from my experience dealing with adjacent FOSS developers, things tend to be less flame war and more of a brief yap from two sides.
