*Known pending work for YP 3.4 includes rust support in core and the prserv changes.
*There has been at least one important bug fix to the overrides syntax change in OE-Core but in general layers do seem to be migrating over and there has been a lot of positive feedback about making this change from a readability perspective. Some additional variables were converted for consistency too.

*In the last week long standing bugs were fixed, such as being able to use the devupstream class with natively extended recipes, some bitbake hangs in unusual situations with cleanups to the error paths around this and improvements to LTO with regard to binary reproducibility.

*The prserv rewrite is making progress but still has some issues with python asyncio.
*There continue to be small bug fixes from the override syntax change but most of the core layers tested on the autobuilder now seem to be working ok.
*Intermittent issues are ongoing, particularly ptest ones. Help is very much welcome on these issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT
*We merged the upgrade to glibc to 2.34. Unfortunately this version makes some changes which have broken uninative and pseudo. Fixes for those issues are being investigated.  
*The multiconfig changes pending in master-next for a long time were merged as the approach used is better overall. If anyone still sees multiconfig scheduling bugs, please report those.
*Kernel changes to drop 5.4 and switch to 5.10 and 5.13 are pending, mainly on other layers being ready for the change to the default versions.
*There also appear to be issues in the buildtools tarball on aarch64, probably from the gcc 11 upgrade.
*There is a plan to migrate the tune files into architecture specific directories. This patch will likely merge in the next few days and will need BSP layers to be updated as the tune files will no longer be found.
*The bitbake fetcher no longer ignores SSL certificates by default (this wasn’t a huge problem as we separately checksum input files).
*LTO linker flags handling changes were merged now the reproducibility issues it introduced were fixed meaning LTO builds should be more reproducible.
*Overlayfs class changes were merged.
*Intermittent issues are ongoing and help is very much welcome on these issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT
