=== Devel Kernel Announcements ===
Our Yakkety kernel is currently based on v4.6.7.  We briefly had a v4.6 based kernel in yakkety-proposed, but has since been revoked while we clean up some failures.

[[https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/yakkety]]

Our unstable branch has also been rebased to v4.8-rc3.

[[https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/unstable]]

Also, as noted in previous newsletters, we are also going to target a v4.8 based kernel for the 16.10 release.
