TIL that https://www.kernel.org/releases.json is a thing 🙏 @monsieuricon would you take a patch to link to this from the home page? Where would I send it?

@monsieuricon I know! I still wrote a script that used XPath to parse the table out of index.html. I can’t be the only one 😅

@monsieuricon @lmb alt: XML comment in HTTP document:

Wait! Are you looking at the source because you are trying to parse the releases table?

Save yourself a lot of effort and use these instead:

- https://www.kernel.org/releases.json
- https://www.kernel.org/finger_banner
