Linus Torvalds officially announces the release of Linux Kernel 3.17 RC7 with new changes and fixes. Well as we discussed in last week that 3.17 RC6 was the release candidate but unfortunately Linus considers another release candidate before publishing final stable 3.17 version.

According to official announcement by Linus, he said that, "I was really hoping that I could have left rc6 as the last rc and just releasing 3.17 today, but that was not to be. It's not that anything particularly scary happened, but quite frankly, things just didn't calm down as I hoped for. And while my travel schedule would have made it really nice had I been able to just do a shorter-than-usual release, "convenience" isn't really part of the release criteria. Oh well".

By his announcement, it is officially confirmed that the Linux Kernel 3.17 release will be delayed by one week and further merge window for development of 3.18 series and 3.17 will be delayed by couple of weeks. Because of some developers who made their submit at last moment leads in releasing this release candidate. Also, review recent Kernel News to know what's new in Kernel 3.17 series ?

Linus shows his anger by stating that, "And I'll be very grumpy if people send me pull requests that I deem inappropriate at this point. I don't think that much of rc7 ended up being "spurious", but I do get the feeling that there were people who had delayed until the last minute that accounts for some of the "not enough slowdown". If I get that feeling next week, I'll be my usual impolite self, and probably decide that you missed your chance".

The Linux Kernel 3.17 RC7 comes with 60% driver fixes along with mix of documentation, arch, filesystem and networking. The i2c part of the patches stands out a bit because of some code movement, but apart from that the diffstat looks pretty calm. We have enlisted some of the fixes below in this post.

Which is not to say that people did: while rc6 is bigger than I wished for, I don't think there's too much obviously frivolous in there. But I'll be keepign an eye out, and I'll be starting to get grumpy (or grumpiER) if I notice that peopel aren't being serious about trying to calm things down".

Linus Torvalds officially announces the release of forth release candidate of Linux Kernel 3.17 with new changes and minor fixes since previous 3.17 RC3 release. Well this candidate is not major one as it includes few fixes for architecture, drivers and added commentary for source codes.

According to official announcement made by Linus Torvalds, he comment that "the previous week was nice and calm". He says, "For a short while there, this week was really nice and calm, but that was mostly because the "linux-foundation.org" entry fell off the DNS universe, and my mailbox got very quiet for a few hours.  The rest of the week looked pretty normal".

Well the Linux Kernel 3.17 RC4 doesn't include any big changes rather than some commentary addition in source code. Linus comment about this as "There is nothing particularly big or scary going on - we had a quick scare about a stupid compat layer bug, but it seems to have been just a false positive and resulted in some added commentary rather than any real code changes". Also, review recent Linux Kernel News to know what's new in recent candidate releases ?

Like usual release candidates, Kernel 3.17 RC4 also includes normal updates for architecture and drivers, but more changes are included under fs/ than other sections. These large number of changes included under fs/ because late f2fs update which Linus decided that "he couldn't bothered to get too upset about, most of it being pretty clear-cut fixes with just a few cleanups mixed in".

Finally, in the conclusion Linus state that "Let's hope it all stays calm. I do note that neither Greg nor Davem ended up sending me anything for rc4, which is probably the _real_ reason why it's pretty calm and small".

XBMC and Kodi developers officially announces the release of first release candidate of Kodi 14.0 Helix. As you now that this is a release candidate and only available for testing purposes. The team is also planning to changing the name of XBMC to Kodi soon. XBMC 13 was the last media center and Kodi will be the new incarnation of earlier XBMC with new features and advanced functionalities.

According to official announcement, Kodi 14.0 Media Center comes with updated FFmpeg 2.4.3 which allows its users to play H.265 and VP9 video codecs. The support for FFmpeg results in dramatically smaller video files sizes with exactly the same level of quality. This compression actually results in reducing the size in almost half its original size like 40GB file could be compressed to 20GB file.

The compression feature of Kodi 14.0 might entice to those who appreciate to reduce the file size in almost half of its original size. It also includes software support for VP9 video codecs. The library of Kodi is improved a bit both in and out. The inside library scanning receives massive speed boost which make the initial scan on Android and iOS devices quite a but more spiritedly.

Michael Roth, developer at QEMU, officially announces the release of fifth release candidate of QEMU 2.2.0. Currently this version is available for testing purposes and should not be used in production environment. According to team this is the last planned RC release before the final QEMU 2.2 which is going to release on 5th December, 2014. He also exposes some of the important plans of QEMU which includes what it will include and when it will be available for production usage.

QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer. When using QEMU as machine emulator, then it run OSes and programs made for one machine on different machine where as when someone tries to use it as virtualizer, then QEMU achieves new native performances by executing the guest code directly on host CPU.

According to official announcement, QEMU 2.2 RC4 comes with fixed vhostfd leak in error branch along with fix for crash after migration in virtio-rng on bi-endian targets. It also includes fixed unmap leak in virtio-net along with fixed regression of HMP device_del auto-completion in hmp. You can download the source tarball of QEMU 2.2.0 RC4 to compile it on your machine.

Among other bugfixes, QEMU 2.2.0 RC4 includes fixed compile error in s390x/kvm, fixed boot order bug when dynamically modified via QOM in fw_cfg, fixed handling of VMWare ioport emulation for xen in -machine vmport=auto.

Linus Torvalds officially announces the release of Linux Kernel 3.18 RC7 with minor changes and fixes. This is the seventh release candidate and most probably the last candidate under 3.18 series. Linus might announces the stable and final release of Kernel 3.18 on next sunday because holiday season is nearby and it may delay the final release of Kernel 3.18, so we are hoping that 3.18 will arrive by the end of this week.

According to official announcement, Linus clearify that the development of this candidate is moving in smooth pace but he worries about the pending issues. In his official statement, he says "Things are calming down nicely, and everything looks pretty normal. In fact, if it wasn't for the pending issues with odd watchdog (and possibly rcu) lockups I'd be pretty happy. As it is, that isn't a regression from 3.17, but is still very disturbing."

He also exclaimed that Christmas holidays are near by and he is planning to release final version of Kernel 3.18 before holidays. We are hoping the Linus will announce Kernel 3.18 final in most probably by the end of this week. In his announcement, he says "At the same time, with the holidays coming up, and the problem _not_being a regression, I suspect that what will happen is that I'll release 3.18 on time in a week, because delaying it will either mess up the merge window and the holiday season, or I'd have to delay it a *lot*." Also, review recent Kernel News to know what has happened in 3.18 series till yet ?

In previous release candidate, he mentioned that issue discovered by DaveJ which is still in fixing state and DaveJ working on it before the final release. The Kernel 3.18 RC7 comes with two third driver fixes including drivers for usb, networking, staging, thermal, gpu and sound. Apart from this other fixes are made in architecture which includes fixes for mips, arm and powerpc. We have also enlisted some of the fixes below in this post.
