Linux 6.5-rc7 (UPDATED)
So it's Sunday afternoon, just not in the usual timezone where I do these releases, since I've been traveling.
But apart from the timezone difference, everything looks entirely normal. Drivers (GPU, networking and sound dominate - the usual suspects, in other words) and architecture fixes. The latter are mostly arm devicetree fixlets, but also some x86 cleanups and fallout from the embargo last week.
Not a huge amount of patches, and I really get the feeling that a lot of maintainers are on vacation. But I will be optimistic and also blame it all being quiet on things working fairly well.
So I think this will be the last rc unless something nasty comes up. Do keep testing,
Linus
