'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.3.4 is due to be released.
*YP 4.0.19 has been through QA and is due for release
*YP 5.0 rc1 is now due to build when ready.
*YP 5.1 M1 rc2 is in QA
*All dunfell patches should have been sent now in preparation for an April 15 build. This will be the last release of dunfell.
*RFC patches for the CVE tooling changes have been posted, help in review is appreciated
*For 5.0, we are still hoping to switch the hash equivalence server before running the release build but that is the only remaining pending change. We do also still need documentation work for the release
*There are SPDX 3.0 patches ready for review on the mailing list
*A new yocto-status mailing list has been created where we plan to send just the project weekly status reports and any other suitable updates on the project. This should help those who found the traffic of the other mailing lists too much.
*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 yocto-patches mailing list has been setup and patches that used to go to the yocto@ list will be migrating over to this new list, making yocto@ a bit more friendly for questions and discussions. Information in layers is being updated to reflect this.
*We have a fix for the final Fedora 40 issue, thanks Victor.
*We received some disappointing feedback from a key organization in the RISC-V ecosystem that the Yocto Project was not important and not worth funding. We will take this feedback into account.
*We appreciate everyone fixing layers to work with master after recent changes, the autobuilder health is looking greener, thanks!
*The “Binary Distro” work is now well underway and there are PR Server passthrough patches under review. The wiki page has had a number of policy/process proposals documented, at least as a first pass. Help is welcome to help improve these, or highlight where further documentation is needed.
*The copy_unihashes function was dropped from bitbake after the locked signature file improvements which simplifies further tooling work
*We continue to watch the NIST NVD (CVE database) situation, the recent update didn’t clarify much. Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be a clear path forward as yet but using data directly from MITRE may help give partial information. These issues are making it hard to know what to include in the 5.0 release as it isn’t clear which changes are security related.
*There is discussion on openembedded-architecture about the details around  configuration fragment tooling potentially being integrated into bitbake
*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!

*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!
