After 7 release candidates, Linux Kernel 4.13 was finally released yesterday afternoon. Linus Torvalds announced that:
So last week was actually somewhat eventful, but not enough to push me to delay 4.13.
Most of the changes since rc7 are actually networking fixes, the bulk of them to various drivers. With apologies to the authors of said patches, they don’t look all that interesting (which is definitely exactly what you want just before a release). Details in the appended shortlog.
Note that the shortlog below is obviously only since rc7 – the _full_ 4.13 log is much too big to post and nobody sane would read it. So if you’re interested in all the rest of it, get the git tree and limit the logs to the files you are interested in if you crave details.

New Features in Kernel 4.13:
- Initial Intel Cannonlake and Coffeelake support
- Nouveau has HDMI 3D / stereoscopic support.
- Radeon/AMDGPU DRM updates
- New HID, audio hardware support
- New input drivers support.
- And lots of more other changes and improvements.
