Linus Torvalds Announces First Linux Kernel 6.14 Release Candidate
Two weeks have passed since Linux kernel 6.13 hit the streets and Linux 6.14’s merge window was opened, which means that it’s time to test drive the Release Candidate versions weekly until the final release in about two months from today. But first, let’s take a look at the biggest new features and enhancements.
Some of the highlights of the Linux 6.14 kernel series include support for amd-pstate preferred core rankings, a new cgroup controller for device memory, a new accelerator driver for the AMD XDNA Ryzen AI NPUs, DRM panic support for the AMDGPU driver, Intel Clearwater Forest server support, support for SELinux extended permissions, core energy counter support for AMD CPUs, power supply extensions to allow adding properties to a power supply device from a separate driver, support for T-Head vector extensions for RISC-V, and more Rust updates for building the kernel using only stable Rust features.
