In addition to this week seeing Zink now running on NVIDIA’s proprietary driver for supporting this Gallium3D-based OpenGL over Vulkan implementation, it can now run on top of Lavapipe as the CPU-based Vulkan implementation. Zink Can Now Run On Lavapipe But You Really Want To Avoid It – Phoronix.
Right now I’m asking that everyone who uses these older kernel releases to upgrade to this release, and do a full rebuild of their systems in order to see what might, or might not, break. See the links for the full technical details if curious. y release number was going to happen soon, and our proposed solution for it (use 16 bits instead of 8), turns out to be breaking a userspace-visable api.Īs we can’t really break this, I did a release of the 4.4.256 and 4.9.256 releases today that contain nothing but a new version number.
So, this is a YOU MUST UPGRADE requirement of a release. Release as an "empty" release to ensure that everything still works properly. Logic that checks the kernel version for different reasons, I wanted to do this Is a userspace visible change, and some crazy tools (like glibc and gcc) have Nothing in the kernel build itself breaks with this change, but given that this With this release, KERNEL_VERSION(4, 9, 256) is the same as KERNEL_VERSION(4, 10, 0). Up causing the userspace-visable LINUX_VERSION_CODE to behave a bit differently This contains only 1 patch, just the version bump from. This, and the 4.4.256 release are a little bit "different" than normal. Linux 4.9.256 I'm announcing the release of the 4.9.256 kernel.Katherine Druckman, Doc Searls and Petros Koutoupis talk Twitter’s new Birdwatch experiment, Signal’s resistance to moderation, and Redditors’ impact on the stock market.
