Linux Kernel 6.18 Officially Released (9to5linux.com) 6
From the blog 9to5Linux:
Linux kernel 6.18 is now available for download, as announced today by Linus Torvalds himself, featuring enhanced hardware support through new and updated drivers, improvements to file systems and networking, and more.
Highlights of Linux 6.18 include the removal of the Bcachefs file system, support for the Rust Binder driver, a new dm-pcache device-mapper target to enable persistent memory as a cache for slower block devices, and a new microcode= command-line option to control the microcode loader's behavior on x86 platforms.
Linux kernel 6.18 also extends the support for file handles to kernel namespaces, implements initial 'block size > page size' support for the Btrfs file system, adds PTW feature detection on new hardware for LoongArch KVM, and adds support for running the kernel as a guest on FreeBSD's Bhyve hypervisor.

How they keep track of the differences between 6.18 and 6.17.
Do they consider it a "big" difference? What IS considered a "big" difference?
It's amazing to me that they can keep track of all this shit at all, to be honest. So much detail and specificity!!!
Geniuses, all of them.

Looks like an abbreviated version. I wonder what is in the 0.0057142857143 OR SO that they are leaving out.

The git commit history, perchance?

Holistically, not technically.
