'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1.30 is due to be released
*YP 4.0.19 is ready for release.
*YP 4.0.15 and YP 5.0 M1 rc3 are in QA
*YP 5.1 M1 is ready for release.
*The intermittent issues on the autobuilder continue to cause problems and along with issues in the regression reports, these lead to several rebuilds of M1.
*Patch status tags are now checked for by default. Layers which don't wish this can disable the error by removing patch-status from ERROR_QA.
*The intermittent issues are slowing down patch testing and merging. We simply don't have enough people to fix the issues quickly enough and the people we do have are struggling. This is now slowing down stable releases too.
*Fedora 40 support should be almost complete. GCC 14 is the gift that keeps on giving, the last issue I'm aware of is in 'expect' and there are now two competing patches for that.
*We have realized there are problems with the serial port code in qemu which may be resulting in some hangs or other issues. We will likely end up removing the “dumper” code (target command and monitor) to improve performance and reduce the side effects that code is currently causing.
*Some larger patches are on the list and help reviewing these would be appreciated:
*Python3-maturin support merged, thanks Tim.
**Adding SPDX 3.0 from Joshua
*Rust updated to 1.71.1 but further updates are blocked on reproducibility issues.
**Improved CVE tooling from Marta
*Two small changes to dependencies for strace and util-linux were identified which should make a big difference to unlocking dependency chains and improving build performance, thanks Yoann. Small changes like these can make a big difference to performance overall.
**bitbake-setup and configuration fragments from Alexander
*An issue in configuration in one of the selftests was identified which was preventing sstate reuse. Fixing this should improve build times by removing the need to build those separate artifacts.
*We had some fixes for the install-buildtools script which showed a lack of automated testing for it. Adding some would be an interesting first contribution if anyone is interested.
*Regarding bugs, even if you can’t fix a bug, submitting a failing test case that can reproduce the issue significantly improves the chances it might get fixed.
*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
*There will be no project public meetings on 26th, 28th December and 2nd January.
**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: patchtest, layerindex, 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!
