It also covers dozens of project updates across CNCF, LF Edge, LF Energy, Jupyter, DPDK, eBPF, AGL, CHIPS Alliance, and more, plus upcoming events like Open Source Summit Europe in Prague. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What changed in MCP 728, the new version of the Model Context Protocol? MCP 728, launched by the Agentic AI Foundation on July 28th, made the protocol stateless, removing the previous session handshake requirement. This means a load balancer can now route any request to any server instance without needing a shared session store, simplifying deployment for platform teams running AI agent infrastructure at scale. _Developers adopting agent protocols can track MCP changes like this as they roll out on daily.dev._ ### What new features does Xen 4.22 add for virtualization? Xen 4.22 is the latest general availability release of the open source type-1 hypervisor, adding AMD Zen 5 hardware support, guest suspend/resume power management for Arm, SSTC timing extensions for RISC-V, and enhanced functional safety testing for data center, cloud, embedded, and automotive deployments. _Infrastructure teams evaluating hypervisor upgrades can follow releases like Xen 4.22 on daily.dev._ ### What new capabilities did OpenUSD v26.08 introduce? OpenUSD v26.08 is a schema-focused release introducing three foundational schemas: Profiles (ProfileAPI for declaring tool round-trip compatibility), Multiple Level-of-Detail (UsdLod) for standardized detail selection, and Backplates (UsdGeomBackPlateAPI) for camera-tied VFX background images with a Hydra/Storm implementation. It is available on GitHub and via pip install usd-core. _Teams working with 3D interoperability standards can watch schema updates like OpenUSD's on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Linux Foundation Newsletter: February 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-foundation-newsletter-february-2026-ezodc00xc) · Linux Foundation · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux Foundation Newsletter: July 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-foundation-newsletter-july-2026-wt0wplhcb) · Linux Foundation · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux Foundation Newsletter: January 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-foundation-newsletter-january-2026-mnbd0f6tx) · Linux Foundation · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux Foundation Newsletter: September 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-foundation-newsletter-september-2026-qabawck4e) · Linux Foundation · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [This Week in Open Source for September 24, 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/this-week-in-open-source-for-september-24-2026-f0evuxtni) · Google Open Source Blog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#kubernetes](https://daily.dev/tags/kubernetes), [#cloud-native](https://daily.dev/tags/cloud-native), [#mcp](https://daily.dev/tags/mcp) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-foundation-newsletter-august-2026-cxdogib0l) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Linux Foundation Newsletter: August 2026","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/linux-foundation-newsletter-august-2026-cxdogib0l","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/linux-foundation-newsletter-august-2026-cxdogib0l"},"datePublished":"2026-08-12T21:14:17.885Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T06:42:37.769Z","description":"The August 2026 Linux Foundation newsletter rounds up ecosystem news: a 35% training discount for Linux's 35th anniversary, the new Tokenomics Foundation for...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/900ae7a08eec0813811acd017805ecf0?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/900ae7a08eec0813811acd017805ecf0?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Linux Foundation","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Linux Foundation","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/bb2d1c16ea1448859600a8a876152cf6","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/linuxfoundation"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/linux-foundation-newsletter-august-2026-cxdogib0l","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"open-source,kubernetes,cloud-native,mcp","timeRequired":"PT57M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Linux Foundation","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/linuxfoundation"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Linux Foundation Newsletter: August 2026"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/linux-foundation-newsletter-august-2026-cxdogib0l#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What changed in MCP 728, the new version of the Model Context Protocol?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"MCP 728, launched by the Agentic AI Foundation on July 28th, made the protocol stateless, removing the previous session handshake requirement.
