From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Following a five week hiatus Mesa 23.2-rc3 debuted back on 5 September and with hopes of getting the next release candidate out that week.
Current Mesa release manager Dylan Baker commented in the 23.2-rc4 announcement: "I'd like to announce mesa 23.2.0-rc4, which will hopefully be the last release candidate for the 23.2 series.
The goal is that this Wednesday we'll have a final release, which will be tagged 23.2.1 due to an accidental 23.2.0 tag that was created earlier.
I will be pulling more patches over the next couple of days, as well as contacting authors whos patches don't apply cleanly.
It is likely that not every staged patch will end up in the first release and will not make it till 23.2.2.
I'm opened to either having a short cycle (with 23.2.2 next week), or if you want to make sure they end up in this release let me know on IRC."
