Announcing the release of Linux Kernel 4.3 RC5, Linus Torvalds wrote:
The 4.3 release cycle continues to be fairly smooth – knock wood. There’s nothing particularly worrying here: we had some annoying fallout from the new strscpy stuff (it’s not actually *used* anywhere yet, but we had build failures on some architectures), and a vfs layer change uncovered an ancient and fascinating ext[34] bug, but on the whole things look pretty normal. It’s the usual “lots of small fixes to drivers and architecture code, with some filesystem updates thrown in for variety”. The appended shortlog gives an overview of the details. Things also seem to be calming down nicely, although since there was no network pull this week, we might have a bump from that next rc. Anyway, if you haven’t tried a recent kernel lately, feel free to hop right in – it all looks pretty good.
