Download Linux Kernel 5.13 / 5.12.14 / 5.10.47 / 5.4.129 / 4.19.196 / 4.14.238 / 4.9.274

The Linux Kernel is the heart of the operating system and, simply put, it sits as a layer between the hardware and the applications. Linus Torvalds released version 5.13 a few days ago. And Sasha Levin has released updates with version numbers 5.12.14, 5.10.47, 5.4.129, 4.19.196, 4.14.238, 4.9.274, and 4.4.274. As usual, the changelogs are not available in a concise form and the announcement of each release contains no more than “I’m announcing the release of the xxx kernel. All users of the xx kernel series must upgrade.”.

Linux 5.13

So we had quite the calm week since rc7, and I see no reason to delay 5.13. The shortlog for the week is tiny, with just 88 non-merge commits (and a few of those are just reverts). It’s a fairly random mix of fixes, and being so small I’d just suggest people scan the appended shortlog for what happened.

Of course, if the last week was small and calm, 5.13 overall is actually fairly large. In fact, it’s one of the bigger 5.x releases, with over 16k commits (over 17k if you count merges), from over 2k developers. But it’s a “big all over” kind of thing, not something particular that stands out as particularly unusual. Some of the extra size might just be because 5.12 had that extra rc week.

And with 5.13 out the door, that obviously means that the merge window for 5.14 will be starting tomorrow. I already have a few pull requests for it pending, but as usual, I’d ask people to give the final 5.13 at least a quick test before moving on to the exciting new pending stuff..
