macOS 26 kernel open source?

Hi!

I was wondering if there will be new XNU version for macOS 26 published open source? As far as I remember, previous version's source code was published the moment the OS was officially released, but not this time. If yes, when we can expect it to be published?

I can’t answer questions about The Future™. See tip 3 in Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips.

There have been occasions in the past where it’s been that quick, but my experience is that it can take a while. Typically that’s less than a month, but I’ve definitely seen it take multiple months.
