[RELEASE] LTTng-modules 2.12.16 and 2.13.12 (Linux kernel tracer)

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Hi,

This is a release announcement for the currently maintained
LTTng-modules Linux kernel tracer stables branches.

* New and noteworthy in these releases:

Linux kernel v6.8 is now supported by LTTng modules 2.13.12. If you need
support for recent kernels (v5.18+), you will need to upgrade to a
recent LTTng-modules 2.13.x.

Both releases correct issues with SLE kernel version ranges detection.

A compilation fix for RHEL 9.3 kernel is present in v2.13.12.

Feedback is welcome!

Thanks,

Mathieu
