Linux 7.3-rc7 includes extensive selftests and core fixes
Linux 7.3-rc7 is a release candidate, a build prepared before a final Linux release.
Linus Torvalds said a travel mix-up caused a slight delay.
The patch has an unusual distribution of changes, with about half its code in selftests.
Selftests are tests included with the software to check its behavior.
The build also contains updates to core networking and computer architecture, along with fixes to the VFS, the part of Linux that handles files and directories.
The update combines these checks and fixes, but no further release timing is given.
