I can't find Longterm release of linux kernel 4.19

Hi Guys,

We recently plan to upgrade our production kernel to the latest longterm version, and I can see the latest longterm version is 4.19 at page: https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html

However, I can't find longterm release 4.19 at page: https://www.kernel.org/

I can see other longterm releases but 4.19, so where is it ?

UPDATE:
I attached a picture with all the longterm version I can see.

https://www.kernel.org/ is not only showing 4.19.11 for me, but also a large yellow download button offering that version.

Try the page again, or try a different browser.

I tried safri and Chrome, but both the same.

Could you please tell me what specific browser version are you using? And could you please email me a picture of https://www.kernel.org/ you saw to: ponypaver@gmail.com ?

I attached a picture with all the longterm version I can see in my first post.

Thank you

But 4.19.12 is there on your screenshot. Hilou says that he can't see it.

That's not what you said though.

4.19 is stable, 4.14 is longterm.
I think there is no longterm release of 4.19, not yet created.

4.19.12 is a stable version, not longterm.

in that case you need to ask them

Looks like the problem resolved itself, in the way I would have guessed. The releases.html page is mainly a promise to provide continues updates to a particular kernel line. The first LTS version is a modification of that last stable version. So if you would have upgraded from 4.19.12 (that most advanced 4.19 at the time of the OP) to the 4.19.14 (the most advanced at the time of my writing) it would have been virtually the same as any other upgrade that stayed within the 4.19 LTS line.
