Sele sinenguqulo entsha yeLinux Kernel, inguqulelo ye-4.4 LTS. Le nguqulo izisa iindaba ezibalulekileyo njengokongeza abaqhubi abaninzi kunye nokuphuculwa kokuqalisa kunye neeprothokholi ezinje nge-TCP phakathi kwabanye.
Emva kweenyanga ezimbalwa zophuhliso kunye neenguqulelo ezininzi ze-beta kunye neenguqulelo zabagqatswa, inguqulelo engu-4.4 ye-Linux kernel ekugqibeleni iphume, ethi ine-LTS, Oko kukuthi, ukuba nenkxaso ende kuneqhelekileyo, ethi iphume emva kweenyanga ezimbini Kernel 4.3.
Le kernel, eya kuthi ibandakanywe kwikamva phakathi kwezinye kwi Ubuntu 16.04 LTS kunye nohlobo olulandelayo lweArch Linux, kubandakanya iindaba ezininzi esiza kubona ngezantsi ukuba ziyintoni.
Yintoni entsha kwiLinux kernel 4.4 LTS
- Yongezwe ukukhawulezisa i-3D yemikhosi ebonakalayo.
- Ukuphuculwa kwenkqubo yokuqalisa kwenkqubo.
- Yongezwe i-Open-Channel ye-SSD inkxaso enokwenziwa nge-LightNVM.
- Ukuphuculwa kwenkxaso yeRAID5.
- Uphuculo olwahlukeneyo kugcino lwefayile.
- Ukuphuculwa komgaqo weTCP.
- Yongeze inkxaso kwiqela labaqhubi.
- Ukusetyenziswa kwememori ye-RAM.
- Ukulungiswa kweempazamo kunye neebugs ezahlukeneyo.
- Olunye uphuculo, ukuba uyasazi isiNgesi ungabona zonke iinkcukacha apha.
Njengoko sele ubonile, le nguqulo intsha yeLinux kernel ineendaba ezininzi kwikhredithi yayo. Oku akungaphantsi, kuba, njengoko kusenzeka kwiinkqubo ezinje nge-Ubuntu, kuhlobo lwenkxaso yeLTS ende iindaba ezininzi zihlala zifakiwe kuneenguqulelo zayo eziqhelekileyo.
Ngokwenyani, uninzi lotshintsho zibandakanyiwe kwiinguqulelo zeBeta kunye neenguqulelo zeRC esele zivelile kwezi nyanga. Ngamazwi kaLinus Torvalds, utshintsho olusuka kuhlobo lokugqibela lomgqatswa (uguqulelo 8) ukuya kuguqulelo lokugqibela alukhange lube lukhulu, ke ukuba ubuvavanya iinguqulelo zabagqatswa awuyi kubona umohluko omkhulu.
Sele sinolu hlobo lwekernel lukhona Njengesiqhelo, kwiphepha le kernel.org, ikwakhona nezinye iinguqulelo zangaphambili ezifanayo.
