Linus Trovalds, the founder of alternative and free software platform Linux, officially announced the Linux kernel 5.6. Linux 5.6 came with many improvements, including WireGuard VPN support. Torvalds announced that most engineers are working from home due to the coronavirus outbreak, and therefore the next core update will not be significantly affected by the outbreak. Still, he admitted that slowing is expected due to social distance and pandemic. Claring why Linux 5.6 was released so fast before a new release (release candidate) version, Torvalds suggested that the changes included in the new version are not worth delaying the release date. Finally, Torvalds stated that 5.7 will come in the target cycle and announced that they have started to apply innovations on the new version. Linux 5.7 is expected to arrive in June.
