Linus Torvalds this week announced the first release candidate of version 5.10 of the Linux kernel (Linux 5.10-rcl), a release that also marks the end of the feature merge window for this EOY 2020 kernel. Version 5.10 should debut as stable by mid-December. This kernel will then be maintained under the Linux long-term support (LTS) program.

"This looks to be a bigger release than I expected," Torvalds said on the Linux kernel mailing list, "and while the merge window is smaller than the one for 5.8 was, it's not a lot smaller.

And 5.8 was our biggest release ever."
