Coming almost two months after PeaZip 10.2, the PeaZip 10.3 release automates context menu integration in the service menus of the KDE Plasma desktop environment and the scripts subfolders of the Nautilus file manager of the GNOME desktop environment.

Linus Torvalds: Linux 6.0-rc5 (UPDATED)

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 11, 2022,
updated Sep 12, 2022

Torvalds in 2002

It's Sunday afternoon, time for another -rc release.


Things look fairly normal for the rc5 timeframe, at least in number of
commits, and in the diffstat.


A bit over half the diff is drivers: GPU, rdma, iommu, networking,
sound, scsi... A little bit of everything.


The rest is the usual random fixes, with i2c doc updates standing out,
but also various DT updates, a few filesystem fixes (btrfs and erofs),
some core networking, and some tooling (perf and selftests).


Nothing looks particularly scary, so jump right in.


               Linus
