It was created and finally released to the public in 1991, where it underwent heavy development until it reached 1.0 in 1994. Its current version, 2.6, was released in 2003, though due to its new version scheme, one could almost consider the current Linux kernel an almost 3.x or 4.x if it stuck with its old scheme.
