Berita Linux Kernel 5.0 Akan Diluncurkan Musim Panas 2018

[lordi]

Linus Torvalds menyatakan bahwa pada musim panas tahun 2018 akan diluncurkan Kernel versi 5.0, tetapi jangan berharap bahwa ini adalah rilis revolusioner, ini hanyalah rilis normal seperti sebelumnya.
Perubahan nomer mayor pada rilis ini bukanlah mencerminkan fitur-fitur yang luar biasa tetapi lebih ke hal psikologis saja, dengan minor versi di kernel 4.xx yang sudah mencapai dua digit, akan lebih sederhana jika mangulang dari versi minor yang kecil, sehingga dirubahlah dari 4.xx ke 5.00

Linus Torvalds reveals that most probably Linux Kernel 5.0 will be released in the summer of 2018. And if you are getting too excited about it let me break it to you, it’s just a normal release like the others before that.

Just because there is a major bump in the version number, it doesn’t mean it will have extraordinary features in it. It’s just a number.

But why call it 5.0 when there are no major changes in it? The reason is purely psychological or should I say purely numerical. Torvalds thinks that it is difficult to keep track when the numbers go in the 20s and 30s. It is easier to remember smaller numbers like 13 or 14.

This is the reason why there will be 5.0 instead of 4.20.

Considering that there is a new kernel release every 8-10 weeks, the Linux Kernel 5.0 should be coming around next summer but Torvalds thinks it might be sooner than that.
