Linus Torvalds has just announced that the new Linux kernel 4.3 has been released and is now available for download. This marks the end of a new development cycle, for 4.3, and the beginning of the next one, 4.4.

The new Linux kernel 4.3 has finally arrived, and it looks like no major problems have troubled the developers. As usual, the new Linux kernel packs an assortment of changes and improvements, and we'll likely see it integrated very soon in a host of operating systems. This is not a long term release, so there won't be a lot of updates down the line, but any kernel upgrade is usually a good one.

In fact, developers announced just a short while ago that Linux kernel 4.4 would be the next LTS release, which is something that hasn't been done before. Usually, kernels were declared LTS (long term support) after their release, but now we know ahead of time. This will make some fascinating research, as the number of people willing to upgrade to version 4.3 will be smaller since they know that 4.4 LTS is on its way.

    Me too, which is why I haven't updated any of my android apps in over a year.
    Every app I liked keeps updating with more bloatware.

    Security? I'm still on android 4.1, so that's a lost cause.

    That's all software, not just android. Cutting functionality and features is the new progress. Gotta destroy everything so it can be reinvented more poorly later.
