Yesterday, 23 June 2020, from 07:13 to 24:00 EDT, no new messages were posted to the Linux Kernel Archive, at least not at the URL I use and I checked several times throughout the day.
Posting resumed after midnight, EDT, last night.
Another round of updates has been announced and a second series of release candiates has already been made available for testing. They are scheduled for release on Friday, 26 June 2020, at approximately 06:00, GMT. As usual, they may be availabe sometime the day before, if not later today.
