ILinus Torvalds, njengenjwayelo, iveze umphakathi ku-LKML ukuthi okusha I-Linux 5.3 RC4 isiyatholakala. Kungokhetho lwesine ukuba yinguqulo yokugcina yeLinux 5.3. UTorvalds usevele umemezele ukuthi i-Release Candidate rc3 ibincane ngokwedlulele ngendlela engajwayelekile, into elindelwe kepha engafezeki ngaso sonke isikhathi. Manje, nge-rc4 ibuyele kusayizi omkhulu, ngakho-ke ithole kancane futhi sizobona ukuthi inguqulo yokugcina ibukeka kanjani.
Ingxenye yecala, njengoba uLinus esho, ilele kumanethiwekhi. Isitaki senethiwekhi sibuyekeziwe nabashayeli abasha nokuthuthuka, into eku-rc3 engenzekanga yingakho ibincane. Kepha akupheleli lapho lokhu kukhuphuka kosayizi kukhiqizile, kube khona nezinye izinguquko ezibe nomthelela ekukhuleni kwekhodi yomthombo we-kernel.
Into exakayo ukuthi i-rc3 yayincane kuphela kunokujwayelekile, kepha i-rc4 ibikhudlwana kunokujwayelekile, okungenani ngokwenani lezinto elinakho. Eqinisweni, bekulokhu kunjalo enkulu kunazo zonke eminyakeni emibili edlule. Ngakho-ke i-rc3 ne-rc4 bekulokhu kungenelwa ukhetho olungavamile. Kodwa-ke, uLinus uzwakalise ukuthi akakhathazekile ngalokhu, ngoba lezi zinto ezingahambi kahle ziyindaba yamathuba nje.
Yebo, phakathi kokuthuthuka nezinguquko ezifakwe yiLinux 5.3 rc4 yilezo engizishilo ngamanethiwekhi, kepha kube nezinguquko kumadrayivu omsindo, i-GPU, i-HID, i-USB, i-MISC, kanye ezinye izibuyekezo zekhodi kuya ngezakhiwo ezifana ne-x86, ARM64, s390, njll. Ngokwengeziwe, kube nokubuyekezwa kwamanye amathuluzi, imibhalo, nokulungiswa kwezinhlelo zefayela njenge-GFS2 ne-NFS. Manje kufanele silinde ukuthuthukiswa kweLinux 5.3 ukuqeda, noma kunjalo, usuvele uyazi ukuthi ungalanda futhi uzame le rc4 yakamuva kusuka kernel.org.
