Linus has [1]released the 5.9 kernel . " Ok, so I'll be honest - I had hoped for quite a bit fewer changes this last week, but at the same time there doesn't really seem to be anything particularly scary in here. It's just more commits and more lines changed than I would have wished for. " Some of the significant features in this release are: x86 [2]FSGSBASE support , [3]capacity awareness in the deadline scheduler, the [4]close_range() system call, [5]proactive compaction in the memory-management subsystem, the [6]rationalization of kernel-thread priorities, and more. See [7]the KernelNewbies 5.9 page for more details.

speakup out of staging
the best and most welcome change. perhaps now Fedora will build kernels with accessibility support. at least I hope so.
