14 DAY TRIAL // Greg Kroah-Hartman has just announced the immediate availability for download and upgrade of new maintenance releases for Linux kernel 3.19, 3.14, and 3.10, all of them bringing approximately the same improvements, bugfixes, and updated drivers.
While Linux kernels 3.14.36 and 3.10.72 are LTS (Long Term Support) releases, the latest stable version is now Linux kernel 3.19.2. Among the changes reported in the attached shortlog, we can mention a number of improvements for the Btrfs file system.
“I'm announcing the release of the 3.19.2 kernel. All users of the 3.19 kernel series must upgrade,” says Greg Kroah-Hartman. “The updated 3.19.y git tree can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary”
The support for x86 and PowePC architectures has also been improved, along with enhancements for the IPv6 and IPv4 network protocols, improvements for the GFS2, NILFS2, eCryptfs, and NFS file systems, as well as numerous updated drivers for Intel i915, Radeon, InfiniBand, etc.
As usual, you can download Linux kernel 3.19.2, Linux kernel 3.14.36 LTS and Linux kernel 3.10.72 LTS right now via Softpedia or directly from kernel.org. However, it is recommended that you wait for the new kernel packages to arrive in the main software repositories of your Linux distribution.
