Linus has released the 6.7 kernel.

End result: 6.7 is (in number of commits: over 17k non-merge
commits, with 1k+ merges) one of the largest kernel releases we’ve
ever had, but the extra rc8 week was purely due to timing with the
holidays, not about any difficulties with the larger release.

Some of the headline features in this release are:
the removal of support for the Itanium
architecture,
the first part of the futex2 API,
futex
support in io_uring,
the BPF exceptions mechanism,
the bcachefs filesystem,
the TCP
authentication option,
the kernel samepage merging smart
scan mode, and
networking
support for the Landlock security module.
See the LWN merge-window summaries (part 1,
part 2) and the (in-progress) KernelNewbies 6.7 page for
more information.
