Software:Linux kernel version history

From HandWiki
Short description: Version history of the Linux kernel

This article documents the version history of the Linux kernel, a free, open-source and Unix-like kernel that is used in many computer systems worldwide.

Since the Linux kernel's creation by Linus Torvalds in 1991, it grew rapidly as many developers contributed to the project. The kernel became self-hosting as the version 0.11 in December 1991. Linux 1.0.0 was released in March 1994, with more than 170,000 lines of code.

The most recent release of the Linux kernel is 6.17, released on 28 September 2025.

Explanation

Each major version – 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[1]
  • Super-long-term support (SLTS); maintained for many more years by the Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP)[2]
