Kernel prepatch 6.13-rc1
Linus has released 6.13-rc1 and closed the merge window for
this release. "And for once - possibly the first time ever - it looks like the
release cycle doesn't clash horribly up with the holiday season, and we'll have
time both to stabilize this release, _and_ the work for 6.14 won't be starting
until well into January."
Rust 1.83.0 released
Version 1.83.0 of the Rust language has been released.
This release includes several large extensions to what code running in const
contexts can do. This refers to all code that the compiler has to evaluate
at compile-time: the initial value of const and static items, array lengths,
enum discriminant values, const generic arguments, and functions
callable from such contexts (const fn).
There are also quite a few new
stabilized APIs.
The OpenWrt One router is now shipping
The OpenWrt One router, which was reviewed here recently,
is now generally available.
This is the first wireless Internet router
designed and built with your software freedom and right to repair in mind.
The OpenWrt One will never be locked down and is forever unbrickable. This
device services your needs as its owner and user. Everyone deserves
control of their computing. The OpenWrt One takes a great first step
toward bringing software rights to your home: you can control your own
network with the software of your choice, and ensure your right to change,
modify, and repair it as you like.

Giving thanks for the LWN community
Earlier today, one of our subscribers, anselm, posted the
one millionth item in our database during a discussion in the comments about the
GPL. One million articles and comments is a big milestone — one representing
twenty two years of work by both the editors of LWN and the community. I think
reaching this milestone on Thanksgiving is a lovely coincidental reminder of how
far LWN has come, and how that wouldn't have been possible without your support.
So thank you for reading.
