Linux 7.4: merge window closes with a record 18,591 non-merge changesets
The Linux 7.4 merge window, closed on November 1, included 18,591 non-merge changesets, a figure the report describes as a record. Most were bug fixes.
According to the report, reproduced from the LWN feed in machine translation, the Linux 7.4 merge window closed on November 1 and included 18,591 non-merge changesets. The text states that this total is nearly equal to the whole Linux 7.3 cycle, which had 18,765 and also set a record. Of these changesets, 11,838 were added after the coverage of the first part of the window.
Most of the new changesets were bug fixes of several kinds. The article suggests that, to some extent, fixes may be taking up space that would otherwise go to new features across the open source ecosystem. Even so, the report mentions that several new features were included and some were removed near the end of the window.
To consult and verify, read the original article on the LWN site, whose address is given in the source, and compare the figures with the official kernel release notes. This is a software development news item with no direct personal data involved, and it does not describe any Rota Nacional capability.
