Linus has released the 6.19 kernel.
"No big surprises anywhere last week, so 6.19 is out as expected - just
as the US prepares to come to a complete standstill later today
watching the latest batch of televised commercials."

The most significant changes in 6.19 include
initial support for Intel's linear
address-space separation feature,
support for Arm
Memory system resource Partitioning And Monitoring,
the listns() system call,
a reworked restartable-sequences
implementation,
support for large block sizes in the ext4
filesystem,
some networking changes for improved
memory safety,
the live update orchestrator,
and much more.  See the LWN merge-window summaries (part˙1, part˙2) and the KernelNewbies 6.19 page for
details.
