Linux 5.0-rc8
This may be totally unnecessary, but we actually had more patches come
in this last week than we had for rc7, which just didn't make me feel
the warm and fuzzies. And while none of the patches looked all that
scary, some of them were to pretty core files, so it wasn't all just
random rare drivers (although those kinds also existed).So I agonized about it a bit, and then decided to just say "no hurry"
and make an rc8. And after I had tagged the rc, I noticed a patch in
my inbox that I had missed that was a regression from one of the very
patches this last week, so that made me feel like rc8 was the right
decision. -
Linux 5.0-rc8 Released - Baking The Final Kernel For One More Week
Linus Torvalds opted for issuing an eighth weekly release candidate tonight for the Linux 5.0 kernel rather than going straight to the official/stable release.
Linux 5.0-rc8 is now available to allow for another week of testing for this code. This RC8 release also was warranted due to a number of fixes landing over the past week, which ended up being rather a lot for this stage of development. Torvalds was a bit undecided whether to do RC8 or not, but ended up deciding to be cautious especially with 5.0-rc8 coming in larger than 5.0-rc7.
