Linux kernel version history

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Version history of the Linux kernel
For broader coverage of this topic, seeHistory of Linux.

This article documents theversion history of theLinux kernel, afree, open-source, andUnix-likekernel that is used in manycomputer systems worldwide.

Since the Linux kernel's creation byLinus Torvalds in 1991, it grew rapidly as many developers contributed to the project.

The kernel becameself-hosting as of version 0.11 in December 1991.Linux 1.0.0 was released in March 1994, consisting of over 170,000 lines of source code.

The most recent stable release of the Linux kernel is 6.19, released on 8 February 2026[1].

Explanation

[edit]

In contrast tosemantic versioning, the major version carries no intrinsic meaning for the kernel, as Linux promises stable interfaces and behavior even across major versions. Rather, since version 3.x, minor versions are capped around 20, to avoid the false perception that changes between large minor versions (e.g. from X.30 to X.31) would be smaller than changes between X.1 and X.2[2].

Each feature release – identified by the first two numbers of a release version – is designated one of the following levels of support:

  • Supported until next stable version and 3 months after that
  • Long-term support (LTS); maintained for a few years[3]
  • Super-long-term support (SLTS); maintained for many more years by the Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP)[4]

Overview

[edit]

Releases 7.x.y

[edit]

On February 8 2026 Linus Torvalds announced that the next kernel release will be published as version 7.0. Considering the usual release cycle of about two months for every new version, kernel 7.0 is expected to be released in April 2026.
