'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 M1 was released.
*YP 4.0.19 has been through QA and is due for release
*Over the last two weeks there were a number of significant fixes for hash equivalence which should resolve some of the long standing bugs reported here. Some of these fixes may require further architectural tweaks to the codebase but those are cleanups which can happen in due course now the root causes are identified.
*YP 5.1 M1 rc2 is in QA
*There are performance issues that remain in hashequivlence but these will be looked at only once the correctness issues and intermittent test failures are addressed.
*RFC patches for the CVE tooling changes have been posted, help in review is appreciated
*There are some puzzling selftest failures that remain, in particular a locked signatures one which seems to be caused through bad interaction with the hash equivalence code but is intermittent and does not make sense.
*There are SPDX 3.0 patches ready for review on the mailing list
*The patch queue for master should be roughly up to date which some key changes such as the gettext upgrade having merged recently. Some pending changes like the glibc upgrade look problematic.
*There are patches proposing that missing patch Upstream-Status entries be a fatal QA error, this is likely to merge soon as there have been no objections to it.
*A key functionality change has merged this week where the layout of the sstate directory has changed. This was done to try and improve performance and handle some performance issues where the previous code simply wasn’t scaling. There is no user visible impact but it does mean new sstate will be generated into a new layout and the older sstate will be ignored. The sstate filename length issues should also be addressed by this patchset.
*We have a fix for the final Fedora 40 issue, thanks Victor.
*Whilst the SWAT process is disbanded, the effect of this is that Richard now has to file the bugs personally. This distracts from other things that could be worked on.
*We appreciate everyone fixing layers to work with master after recent changes, the autobuilder health is looking greener, thanks!
*The triage team is worried about attendance at triage meetings and the project is finding it hard to find people to help fix bugs. If anyone is willing to work on bugs, assistance would be greatly appreciated.
*The copy_unihashes function was dropped from bitbake after the locked signature file improvements which simplifies further tooling work
*The TSC is working on LTS plans, productive discussions have been had and a new policy on handling this and stable releases should be available in the coming weeks.
*There is discussion on openembedded-architecture about the details around  configuration fragment tooling potentially being integrated into bitbake
*We are continuing to collect ideas for YP 3.1 in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UKZIGe88-eq3-pOPtkAvFAegbQDzhy_f4ye64yjnABc/edit?usp=sharing
*There is an open letter the project has created related to the CVE/NVD situation, more information is available here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1990
*Please consider signing this to show support for those changes.
*Signatures from small businesses/consultancies are as welcome as those from larger organizations as we want to demonstrate the breadth of the need for these changes.
*We continue to have trouble tracking down the rust reproducibility problem in rustdoc.
*Through post release upgrading our patch count reduced again and is now the lowest level since July 2008!


'''Proposed YP 3.1 Milestone Dates'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 M1 is in QA
*As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
*YP 3.1 M1 release date 12/13/2019
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*YP 3.1 M2 build date 1/20/2020
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.1. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.1_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*YP 3.1 M2 release date 1/31/2020
*We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
*YP 3.1 M3 build date 2/24/2020
*Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent 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.
*YP 3.1 M3 release date 3/6/2020
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*YP 3.1 M4 build date  3/30/2020
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*YP 3.1 M4 release date  4/24/2020
