Linux Kernel 4.1 LTS released

Linus has been busy working on Linux Kernel 4.1 LTS and now it has been released. This release includes support for Intel Skylake, improved Intel Atom processor support, and encryption for the EXT 4 file system.

Silviu Stahie reports for Softpedia:

Linus Torvalds announced just a few minutes ago the release of the Linux kernel 4.1. The development cycle for this branch of the Linux kernel is now complete, and we’ll soon move to the next one, probably 4.2.

Most Linux kernel cycles are calm, with a few exceptions. From time to time, something happens that warrants the attention of Linux Torvalds or of the people involved in some particular subsystem, but fortunately for us, it’s not the case with the latest version.
