Things have been pretty calm, and rc6 is out there.  Nothingparticular really stands out - it all looks normal, with just underhalf of the patch being drivers (networking stands out, but there'sinfiniband, sound and misc other things too), a third of the restbeing arch updates, and the rest is just misc more or less core stuffall over.The appended shortlog is about as descriptive as anything else. It'sshort enough that you can easily skim through it to see if there issomething particular you might be interested in.So everything still looks on target for a normal release schedule,which would imply rc7 next weekend, and then the final 4.13 the weekafter that.Unless something happens, of course. Tomorrow is the solar eclipse,and maybe it brings doom and gloom even beyond the expected Oregontrafficalypse. You never know.                  Linus
