The latest version of the stable Linux kernel, 3.14.13, has been announced by Greg Kroah-Hartman, marking the release of another update in this branch.

This particular branch of the kernel was marked as LTS just a couple of weeks ago and that means that we will get a lot more updates for it in the coming months.

“I'm announcing the release of the 3.14.13 kernel. All users of the 3.14 kernel series must upgrade. The updated 3.14.y git tree can be found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-3.14.y and 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,” says Greg Kroah-Hartman said in the email announcement.

If you are using any of the versions released until now in the Linux kernel 3.14.x branch, you should consider an update to this build. It's also a good idea to try the new 3.15 kernel, which has already received an update.

Linux kernel 3.14 features, among other things, better Intel Broadwell graphics support, various Radeon improvements, Nouveau improvements (support for new GPUs from NVIDIA), quite a few Btrfs changes, and even NVIDIA Tegra PRIME support.

A complete list of commits in this branch of the kernel can be found in the official announcement. You can download Linux kernel 3.14.13 right now from Softpedia.
