'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.0 M3 has been through QA. There is one major issue, we will likely release M3 and fix that in M4.
*YP 4.0.20 is due to be released
*YP 4.0.17 is in QA.
*YP 5.1 M2 is in QA
*There is a regression on beaglebone testing where X is no longer starting which was found during M3 QA. Fixes are under discussion for this and will be in M4.
*There is an issue open upstream with the openssl project related to making path relocation of openssl easier (as used in our buildtools tarball and SDK). We’d love assistance in moving this forward and getting some kind of upstream feature merged to make this easier: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/19260
*A key worry now is the documentation for the release, especially given it is an LTS. There are emails on the docs list about this, help is much appreciated.
*SPDX 3.0 has merged and is now the default.
*The opkg lock issue with systemd images continues to be a significant concern for the release. We do now have a way to reproduce the bug and it is due to “opkg configure” being executed in a postinstall script whilst opkg install has the lock.
*We updated to glibc 2.40, thanks Khem. There is an issue with building pseudo under the new glibc version which is being worked on.
*There is a uninative issue showing up with newer distros due to the glibc changes where the pthread library is no longer separate. There are patches in testing to try and mitigate against this.
*We identified an issue which meant warnings/errors in nativesdk recipes were not showing on our autobuilder. We have the fix for the CI issue ready as soon as we fix those warnings/errors, the gcc path problems are proving tricky.
*There are multiple other failures occurring on the autobuilder but no specific pattern has been identified as yet. One test build had 4 different failures, and 2 of them were new never seen before issues. There is also some kind of issue with devtool/recipe tool test isolation in selftest which needs to be tracked down.
*We were able to optimize some space usage in builds, thanks Ross. The results are visible on our performance charts, e.g.: https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20240723-5/testresults/buildperf-alma8/perf-alma8_master_20240723030045_28fd497a26.html https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20240723-4/testresults/buildperf-debian11/perf-debian11_master_20240722200022_28fd497a26.html
*The previously reported CVE database update issue has been mitigated for now but further improvements to the autobuilder process for generating the metrics may still be needed.
*Further help on optimizing build disk usage would be most welcome.
*Some larger patches still need help with review these would be appreciated:
**Improved CVE tooling from Marta
**kernel fitimage changes from Adrian
**bitbake-setup and configuration fragments from Alexander
*We’ve been trying to resolve some of the longer standing patches in review and are getting more caught up.

*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!
