From Greg KH [1]: > All users of the 4.6 kernel series must upgrade. Change-log [2][3]: > "Networking stack improvements, updated drivers" > > Yes, Linux kernel 4.6.4 is here, and it's the latest and most advanced > kernel version for GNU/Linux operating systems, but looking at the > appended shortlog we can notice very few improvements. Besides the usual > updated drivers, this time for things like crypto and USB, there are > only networking stack improvements, for the AX.25 data link layer > protocol, the IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, kernel connection multiplexer > (KCM), bridge, and the packet scheduler. > > In numbers, there are only 36 changed files, with 216 insertions and 98 > deletions, so yes, this is one of the smallest updates for the Linux 4.6 > kernel series so far. However, this does not mean you don't need to > update your system as soon as it lands in the main software repositories > of your GNU/Linux distribution. OS vendors can download the Linux kernel > 4.6.4 sources right now via our website or from kernel.org.
