A new release for any project with a fix for a 12-year old CVE is going to stand out pretty obviously; a recent release has a fix of that nature, but the trail of CVE-2012-5639 is rather elusive. The Apache OpenOffice project made its 4.1.15 release with fixes for four CVEs,...

The Vcc compiler has been announced. It’s exactly what the name implies: a clang-based compiler that outputs code that runs on Vulkan. Vcc can be thought of as a GLSL and HLSL competitor, but the true intent of this project is to retire the concept of shading languages...

Thorsten Leemhuis writes about his plans for improving the kernel's regression handling in the coming year. Top-priority will be 'make regzbot more useful for kernel subsystem maintainers' from now on. My tracking efforts of course will continue, but everything except...

Anthony Shaw describes the new copy-and-patch JIT that has been proposed for Python 3.13. Copy-and-patch was selected because the compilation from bytecodes to machine code is done as a set of “templates” that are then stitched together and patched at runtime with the...

The 6.7 kernel was released on January 7 after a ten-week development cycle. This was, as it turns out, the busiest cycle ever with regard to the number of changesets merged. The time has come for our usual look at where all those changesets came from, with a side trip into...

Linus has released the 6.7 kernel. End result: 6.7 is (in number of commits: over 17k non-merge commits, with 1k+ merges) one of the largest kernel releases we've ever had, but the extra rc8 week was purely due to timing with the holidays, not about any difficulties with...

Kernel developers often go out of their way to reduce the memory used by the kernel itself; that memory is not available for the workloads that people are actually interested in running on their systems. Lower memory usage also tends to lead to better performance overall....
