Ngo-Ephreli 16 kukhishwe inguqulo entsha ye-Linux kernel, engikhuluma ngayo I-Linux 4.11 Khipha Okhethiweyo 7 futhi kwamenyezelwa nguLinus Benedict Torvalds, njengenjwayelo. Enguqulweni entsha, ikakhulukazi lena yesikhombisa, kunezinguquko ezibalulekile esizodiliza ngezansi. Uma ufuna, ungayilanda manje noma ulinde inguqulo yokugcina ezovela maduzane kernel.org.
Njengoba umdali ephawule kahle, iLinux 4.11-rc7 ingaba yinguqulo yokugcina yabafundi ngaphambi kokukhishwa kwe- inguqulo yokugcina uma kungekho zimanga ezingalindelekile ezidinga ukwandiswa kwalesi sigaba sokuthuthuka kwe-rc ngaphezu kokujwayelekile. Kepha uma konke kuhamba njengoba kuhlelwe, ukukhishwa okulandelayo kuzoba okokugcina. Iqiniso ukuthi kule nguqulo kube nezinguquko eziningi kakhulu, kuphela ezinye iziphetho ngesonto elizolile lokuthuthuka.
ULinus ukubikile lokhu ikhola lapho kube nezinguquko ezithile kuphela kukhodi, izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zazo ezimiselwe abashayeli be-kernel, kanti konke okunye kusetshenziswe kwezinye izingxenye ezihlobene nokuvuselelwa kwezinsizakalo ezahlukahlukene zokwakhiwa, amanethiwekhi, i-FS, njll., kanye nezinye izinguquko ku-kernel eyinhloko uqobo, njengamathuluzi, njll. Ngakho-ke ngeke silindele ushintsho olukhulu kulesi sigaba sokugcina ngaphambi kokukhipha inguqulo ezinzile.
Izinguquko zenziwe ziyahlukahluka, kusuka ekuguqulweni kwe-fbdev, kuya kuma-btrfs, i-EFI, i-cpupower, ama-DRM driver nezinye zehluzo, i-SCSI, umshayeli we-cpufreq, i-ACPI, amathuluzi (i-turbostat, i-netfilter, ...), ukuthuthuka ekusekeleni izakhiwo ezahlukahlukene (i-ARM, x86, ARM64, IA-64, PA-RISC,…), Xen, irq, VFS, USB, orangeFS, CIFS, SATA, iqembu, vFGPU, PA-RISC, amanethiwekhi, njll. Njengoba ukwazi ukubona esitatimendeni, zihlukahlukene futhi ziningi, kepha azinkulu kakhulu uma ziqhathaniswa nalezo ezifakiwe emavikini okuqala okwakhiwa izinhlobo ezintsha futhi ezinciphayo njengoba zifinyelela enguqulweni yokugcina ...
