After letting users decide the version numbering of the Linux kernel software, as Softpedia reported two weeks ago based on the Linus Torvalds’ Google+ poll for Linux kernel 3.20/4.0. Apparently, users decided that it was time for a change, so we’re happy to announce the immediate availability for testing of the first RC (Release Candidate) version of the forthcoming Linux 4.0 kernel.
This RC1 version is the first development release of what will become Linux kernel 4.0 in approximately 3-4 months. The final version of Linux kernel 4.0 will most probably arrive until summer 2015, when everyone will go on vacation. However, Linus Torvalds tries to assure people that a version number change won’t bring any major features or break compatibility with previous releases.
