The first major release of Linux for the year 2019 was made available earlier this week, and with it came a new version number: 5.0. However, as Linus pointed out, while this version change might seem significant, Linux doesn't do feature-based releases, and "it doesn't mean anything more than that the 4.x numbers started getting big enough that I ran out of fingers and toes".

As usual, Collabora was active in this latest release, with 9 developers authoring a total of 45 patches, 47 Signed-off-by tags and 9 Reviewed-by tags. Here's a look at some of the highlights:

Graphics

• Emil Velikov added a render node for the VGEM DRM driver, which fulfills the original intent of the driver of being a virtual render node. Previously we were using it as primary/master node for the render capability. This change clarify the role for users.
• Robert Foss and Gustavo Padovan enabled Explicit Synchronization of dma-bufs for virtio_gpu, the virtual display/gpu driver used by qemu for example.

Media

• Ezequiel Gracia has enabled hardware accelerated JPEG encoding on Rockchip SoCs (rk3288 and rk3399).
• Helen Koike continued improving the vimc driver.

ChromeOS EC

• Enric Balletbo i Serra, long time ChromeOS EC developer, was appointed co-maintainer of the Chrome platform support. This accompanies a change in the Chrome development model towards an upstream-first policy.

Here and there...

• As a mainainter of the Power Supply sub-system, Sebastian Reichel removed the use of deprecated POWER_SUPPLY_TYPE_USB_* flag in gpio-charger. He added support for custom sysfs attributes and cleanup existing drivers from a race condition that result in fixing attributes that are not properly registered to udev.
