The final version of the kernel 4.14 has been released. There were some problems in the development time. Paul Mackerras has fixed the problem with the emulation of the dcbz instruction in the alignment interrupt handler. Therefore the hardware 3D acceleration works again on the AmigaOne X5000. The X1000 wasn't affected by this issue. Additionally there were some problems with the SystemMonitor, lightdm and PCSX but fortunately these are all fixed. The kernel developers have removed some firmwares from the Linux Git. Tom and TearsOfMe tested the release candidates on theirs AmigaOne X1000. Casey tested a lot the release candidates on his AmigaOne X5000. Julian released the RC7 for testing for the X1000 and X5000. Many thanks to all for your help.
