Today, June 1, 2016, renowned Linux kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman has had the great pleasure of releasing the first maintenance version of the Linux 4.6 kernel.

Believe it or not, Linux kernel 4.6.1 is already here, only two weeks after the official launch of the Linux 4.6 kernel series, as announced by Linus Torvalds on May 15, 2016.

For those not in the loop, Linux 4.6 branch is the latest and most advanced kernel branch available right now for GNU/Linux operating systems, but it looks like its adoption is a little slow at the moment.

“I’m announcing the release of the 4.6.1 kernel. All users of the 4.6 kernel series must upgrade,” says Greg Kroah-Hartman. “The updated 4.6.y git tree 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.”
