All users of the 3.14 kernel series must update
On May 17, we announced that Linux kernel 4.0.4 and Linux kernel 3.10.79 LTS
were available for download, but another important kernel was published
on the same day - Linux kernel 3.14.43 LTS, which is currently used in
various GNU/Linux distributions.
Greg Kroah-Hartman had the pleasure of announcing
Linux kernel 3.14.43 LTS, a release that includes dozens of ARM and
ARM64 (AArch64) improvements, fixes for that NILFS2 and OCFS2
filesystems, and an ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)
fix.
Additionally, Linux kernel 3.14.43 LTS comes with
improvements to KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) and OSS (Open Sound
System), as well as numerous updated drivers, notably for ACPI, GPU
(Intel i915 and Radeon), InfiniBand, MD, MMC, TTY, Xen, and the PINCTRL
(PIN CONTROL) subsystem.
"I'm announcing the release of the 3.14.43 kernel.
All users of the 3.14 kernel series must upgrade," says Greg
Kroah-Hartman in the mailinglist announcement.
"The updated 3.14.y git tree can be browsed at the normal kernel.org
git web browser:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary."
All users of the 3.14 kernel series are urged to update as soon as possible
As usual, Greg Kroah-Hartman recommends all users of
the 3.14 kernel series to upgrade to the Linux kernel 3.14.43 LTS
release as soon as the packages become available in the main software
repositories of their Linux kernel-based operating systems.
Distribution vendors and experienced users can download Linux kernel 3.14.43 LTS right now from the kernel.org
website or via Softpedia, and compile the kernel themselves. For more
details about the issues that have been patched in this release, as well
as the new features implemented, we suggest reading the complete
release notes.
