Linus has released the 7.1 kernel.
"So it's only Sunday morning back home, but it's Sunday afternoon where
I am right now, so I'm doing the 7.1 release at the regular time -
just not in the regular timezone."

Significant changes in 7.1 include
the removal of support for some old 486-based architectures,
some new clone() flags making
process management easier,
BPF support for io_uring,
zero-copy-I/O support for the ublk user-space block
driver,
initial (incomplete) sub-scheduler support
in sched_ext,
more swapping improvements,
a completely rewritten NTFS
implementation,
and much more.  See the LWN merge-window summaries (part˙1, part˙2) for details.
