Kernel do Linux remove subsistema ISDN e drivers de rede antigos

Linus Torvalds mesclou uma solicitação de pull no kernel do Linux na quinta-feira, removendo o subsistema de Rede Digital de Serviços Integrados (ISDN) e vários outros drivers de rede obsoletos. A solicitação observou que códigos antigos, incluindo suporte a radioamadorismo e NFC, têm sobrecarregado os desenvolvedores principais de rede há anos. O Phoronix foi o primeiro a reportar as mudanças.

Linus Torvalds, o mantenedor do kernel do Linux, integrou uma solicitação de pull na quinta-feira que elimina o subsistema ISDN da base de código do kernel. Esse subsistema, parte da tecnologia inicial de telefonia digital, juntamente com outros componentes legados, está agora obsoleto e foi removido para otimizar os esforços de desenvolvimento. A solicitação de pull declara explicitamente: 'Códigos antigos como radioamadorismo e NFC são um fardo para os desenvolvedores principais de rede há muito tempo.'

Linus Torvalds signals Linux kernel 7.0 release is imminent

Linus Torvalds has announced that the Linux kernel will jump to version 7.0 after the 6.x series concludes, marking a cosmetic but symbolic milestone for the open-source project. The decision follows established versioning practices to keep minor numbers manageable, with no major technical overhaul tied to the change. Ongoing developments include expanded Rust integration and hardware support enhancements.

Linux kernel version 7.1 will drop support for the Intel 80486 processor, making it impossible to build a kernel compatible with the 1989 chip. Maintainers, including Ingo Molnar, argue that the compatibility code burdens modern development. The change affects a few compatible chips from other vendors but has negligible practical impact.

Developers have released Linux kernel 7.0, featuring improvements for Intel and AMD hardware, enhanced storage handling, and the removal of the experimental label from Rust support. Linus Torvalds announced the update, which is not a long-term support version. The release includes preparations for upcoming CPUs and GPUs, alongside self-healing filesystem capabilities.

The Linux kernel version 7.0 has dropped support for the EDAC driver associated with the 28-year-old Intel 440BX chipset. This change signifies another step in phasing out the once-legendary motherboard chipset. Despite the removal, the chipset's legacy persists in various systems.

Linus Torvalds announced the stable release of Linux kernel 6.19 on February 9, 2026, following an eight-week development cycle with a one-week delay. Marking the end of the 6.x series—like 3.x to 4.0 and 5.x to 6.0—this non-LTS version (6.18 LTS until December 2027) brings extensive enhancements for Intel/AMD/Arm hardware, older GPUs, file systems, peripherals, HDR graphics, networking, virtualization, and cloud environments. Torvalds timed it with a major U.S. sporting event, joking, "6.19 is out as expected -- just as the US prepares to come to a complete standstill later today, watching the latest batch of televised commercials," and noted the next kernel will be 7.0 as he's "running out of fingers and toes."

Following Linus Torvalds' recent announcement, Linux kernel 7.0 has been released on February 28, 2026, adding support for AMD Zen 6 processors and Intel Nova Lake alongside file system and graphics enhancements for improved efficiency.

Developers have submitted drivers for the Verisilicon DC8200 and Coreboot framebuffer to the DRM-Next branch for inclusion in Linux kernel version 7.1. This update aims to enhance support for specific graphics hardware in the open-source operating system. The submission was reported by Phoronix, a site focused on Linux hardware and performance.
