#Linux 6.18 is out:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=whnC+hRftevTLeVs3tyyqwn+7un=jUES2-WX+pZhDdKNw@mail.gmail.com/
""So I'll have to admit that I'd have been happier with slightly less bugfixing noise in this last week of the release, but while there's a few more fixes than I would hope for, there was nothing that made me feel like this needs more time to cook. So 6.18 is tagged and pushed out.
[…] this upcoming release will have the merge window coincide with the yearly kernel maintainer summit, which means that I'll be traveling the second week. I hope to have all the bulk of the merge window done before travels and that it won't be all that noticeable, but we'll see.
So the actual rc1 release might be delayed by travel, but that will *not* mean that I would accept late merge window pull requests. […]
And then later in the 6.19 release, we have the holiday season. That typically delays the release by a week.
Now, when looking at the calendar, I'm not 100% sure an extra week would be needed for 6.19, […]
Anyway, *today* the important kernel is the newly minted 6.18 release. Please do keep testing,
Linus""
