I-Linus Torvalds, njengesiqhelo, yenze esidlangalaleni kwi-LKML ukuba entsha I-Linux 5.3 RC4 ngoku iyafumaneka. Ngumgqatswa wesine ukuba abe yinguqu yokugqibela yeLinux 5.3. I-Torvalds sele ibhengeze ukuba uMgqatswa woKhululwa i-rc3 ibincinci encinci ngokungaqhelekanga, into elindelweyo kodwa engahlali iphunyezwa. Ngoku, nge-rc4 ibuyile kubungakanani obukhulu, ke ngoko ifumene kancinci kwaye siza kubona ukuba inguqulelo yokugqibela ijongeka kanjani.
Inxalenye yesityholo, njengoko uLinus esitsho, ilele kwiinethiwekhi. Isitaki senethiwekhi sihlaziyiwe nabaqhubi abatsha kunye nophuculo, into engakhange yenzeke kwi-rc3 yiyo loo nto ibincinci. Kodwa ayisiyiyo yonke le nto ukonyuka kobungakanani okuvelisileyo, kuye kwakho nolunye utshintsho olunegalelo ekukhuleni kwekhowudi yomthombo wekernel.
Into engaqhelekanga kukuba yayingeyiyo kuphela i-rc3 encinci kunesiqhelo, kodwa i-rc4 ibinkulu kunesiqhelo, ubuncinci ngokwenani lezinto ebenazo. Ngapha koko, bekunjalo inkulu kule minyaka mibini idlulileyo. Ke i-rc3 kunye ne-rc4 ibe ngabagqatswa abangaqhelekanga. Nangona kunjalo, uLinus uvakalise ukuba akakhathazeki ngale nto, njengoko oku kungalunganga kungumcimbi wamathuba.
Ewe, phakathi kokuphuculwa kunye notshintsho olubandakanya i-Linux 5.3 rc4 yile ndiyikhankanyileyo malunga neenethiwekhi, kodwa kukwakho notshintsho kubaqhubi bezandi, i-GPU, i-HID, i-USB, i-MISC, kunye uhlaziyo oluthile kwikhowudi ixhomekeke kubugcisa obuyile x86, ARM64, s390, njl. Ukongeza, kukho uhlaziyo lwezixhobo ezithile, amaxwebhu kunye nokulungiswa kweefayile ezinje nge-GFS2 kunye ne-NFS. Ngoku kufuneka silinde ukukhula kweLinux 5.3 ukugqiba, nangona kunjalo, sele uyazi ukuba unokukhuphela kwaye uzame le rc4 yamva nje kernel.org.
