ILinus Torvalds imemezele ngempelasonto ukwethulwa kwe- Uhlobo lwesi-4.18 nolokugcina lwe-RC (Okhethiweyo Lokugcina) lweLinux Kernel XNUMX, futhi eqinisekisa ukufika okuseduze kwenguqulo yokugcina ngesonto elizayo.
ILinux Kernel 4.18 RC7 isiyatholakala ukuze ihlolwe ngumphakathi kanti neLinus Torvalds ibika ukuthi akukho okungajwayelekile kulokhu kukhishwa ngaphandle kokulungiswa kwamaphutha amancane, kuphawula ukuthi lokhu ukukhishwa kokugcina ngaphambi kokuphela okungaqala ekupheleni kwaleli sonto, ngomhla ka-5 ka-Agasti.
"Akukho lutho olubaluleke kakhulu olwenzekile kuleli sonto, sibe nokulungiswa kwamaphutha okuvamile. Cishe izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zala maphutha zivela kubashayeli, kepha kukhona nezinye izigaba ezimbalwa, uma kungenzeki lutho olungajwayelekile, lokhu kuzoba yi-RC yokugcina ka-4.18”. Kukhulunywa ngeLinus Torvalds.
I-Linux Kernel 4.18 ithembisa izici eziningana ezintsha nokuthuthuka okungathinta abanye. Izici zayo ezibaluleke kakhulu zifaka ukulungiswa kwe-Specter Variants 1 ne-2 yezakhiwo ezingama-32-bit ARM, kanye nokuhlanganisa izinhlelo ze-eBPF kuzakhiwo ezingama-86-bit x32.
I-Linux 4.18 ifaka phakathi ukuvikelwa kokuhlukile kokungafani 4 kwe-ARM 64 ne-ARMv8, ukusekelwa okuthuthukisiwe kohlelo lwefayela le-F2FS, ukusekelwa okungcono kwe-USB-C ne-USB 3.2, ukwesekwa okusemthethweni kwe-Snapdragon 845 kanye ukusekelwa kokuqala kwamakhadi wehluzo weRadeon Vega.
Njengoba kulindelwe, kunokunye okuningi ukuthuthuka kanye nokushayela okusha kokusekelwa okungcono kwehardware nokusebenza okwengeziwe kweLinux Kernel 4.18. Ukukhishwa kwakamuva kufanele kufike ngo-Agasti 5, 2018, kepha kungathatha amasonto ambalwa ukufinyelela ezinqolobaneni ezisemthethweni zokwabiwa okuhlukile.
Okwamanje, ungalanda inguqulo ye-RC 7 yeLinux Kernel 4.18 kusuka ku-Kernel.org, kepha khumbula ukuthi noma ipholile ngokwanele, ayikabi inguqulo yokugcina ngakho-ke ungafaki i-kernel yakho ezinzile.
