Subj : Kernel prepatch 6.19-rc4 To : All From : LWN.net Date : Mon Jan 05 2026 06:40:07 The 6.19-rc4 kernel prepatch is out for testing. So this rc is still a bit smaller than usual, but it's not _much_ smaller, and I think next week is likely going to be more or less back to normal. Which is all exactly as expected, and nothing here looks particularly odd. I'll make an rc8 this release just because of the time lost to the holidays, not because it looks like we'd have any particular issues pending (knock wood). https://lwn.net/Articles/1052732/ --- SBBSecho 3.34-Linux * Origin: Palantir * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FL * (86:200/23) .
