14 DAY TRIAL // Today, April 18, 2017, renowned Linux kernel maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman announced the availability of another set of updated kernels for the Linux 4.10, 4.9, and 4.4 branches.
Arriving about one week after their previous maintenance updates, Linux kernel 4.10.11, Linux kernel 4.9.23 LTS and Linux kernel 4.4.62 LTS are now the latest patches for the respective kernel branches, bringing pretty much the same improvements for the MIPS hardware architecture, the Intel i915 graphics driver, as well as the drivers for Ralink RT2500 802.11g wireless LAN chipset and Mellanox MLX4 Ethernet driver. The OrangeFS and NFS filesystems also received a few fixes.
"I'm announcing the release of the 4.10.11 [4.9.23 and 4.4.62] kernel. All users of the 4.10 [4.9 and 4.4] kernel series must upgrade. The updated 4.10.y [4.9.y and 4.4.y] git tree can be found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-4.10.y, git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-4.9.y, and git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-4.4.y," said Greg Kroah-Hartman.
