Linus Torvalds officially announces the release of Linux Kernel 3.16 RC7 with new changes and bug fixes. This time during the release of Linux Kernel 3.16 RC7, Linus is quite happy with this release as you know that he was upset about the release of Kernel 3.16 RC6 which he considered as one of the worst candidate under 3.16 kernel series.

According to official announcement, Linus Torvalds charmingly state that "I'm happy to say that things have calmed down a bit, and things look to be on track. Which didn't actually seem to be the case at all earlier this week - we had what appeared to be really nasty core bugs, and together with rc6 being bigger than previous rc's, I was really not feeling all that good about this release there for a while".

He describe that the worst and nasty bugs are cleared up in this release. One of the major highlighted fixes of this release candidate is fixing the compiler issue which is one of the scary and hard to debug. This compiler issue has fairly simple workaround so that developers didn't end up as a blacklist compilers. Also, review recent Kernel News to know what's new for Kernel developers ?

The Kernel 3.16 RC7 includes various bug fixes, but doesn't includes any special new feature which might entice to Linux users. The RC7 is one of the smaller candidate if you compared it with previous RCs. Linus state that, this might be the last RC but lets hope what happen in next week. The RC7 is about one third arch, one third drivers and one third "random". You might also like to check out other latest Software News on our website.
