Linux 7.1 released, Bootlin contributions inside (opens in new tab)

Linux 7.1 was released earlier this week. As usual, the best source of information about the content of this new version will be LWN, see merge windows posts, part 1 and part 2 . This release is a bit outstanding, as it is one of the largest in kernel history, considering commits count. It also highlights a trend that has been visible since 7.0: the number of first-time contributors is increasing a lot. You can find some comments about this tendency in the 7.1 coverage from LWN.
