Hey Nick!

Not really.  According to kernel.org;

mainline:   6.13          2025-01-19
stable:     6.13.1        2025-02-01

I haven't had a chance to check.  It just so happened to present itself (6.13.1) when I was upgrading one of the four machines I am working on.  So far twon of them are both running 6.12.11 since 6.12.12 hadn't presented itself until yesterday, which was after I upgraded them to 6.12.11.  I still have one more machine to get up to date, and it will probably be a 6.12.12 kernel which is listed as 'stable'.

Just the luck of the draw is all ... I think.  We'll see but so far that particular machine is behaving itself.  "Little Mikey's Brain", the fidonet node is showing;

 <Esc>:r /proc/version
Linux version 6.12.11 (root@itsii) (gcc (GCC) 14.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.43.1) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Jan 30 08:22:25 UTC 2025

That kernel was released on 23-Jan-2025 whereas 6.12.12 is showing 01-Feb-2025 which is two days after I upgraded that machine.

Life is good,
Maurice
