Btrfs-progs v6.7.1

This spiral galaxy was observed as part of the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) program, a large project that includes observations from several space- and ground-based telescopes of many galaxies to help researchers study all phases of the star formation cycle, from the formation of stars within dusty gas clouds to the energy released in the process that creates the intricate structures revealed by Webb’s new images. NGC 1365 is 56 million light-years away in the constellation Fornax.

Btrfs progs v6.7.1 was released today. Sources can, as usual, be found at https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs/releases and https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/kdave/btrfs-progs/
