*We are now at feature freeze and working on bug fixing for the final 5.1 release builds
*Twitch -  See https://www.twitch.tv/theyoctojester
*Some limited recipe upgrades may be taken in M4 depending on their value of bug fixes vs breaking changes/features.
<br/>
*Fixes to make ERROR_QA only rebuild tasks it directly affects were merged, which will improve sstate reuse from the project servers significantly.
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.
*YP 4.3 (M4) rc1 build is still pending
*Upcoming Event: For those attending OSS EU in Vienna, Yocto Project Developer Day Sept. 19th 9am-5pm.
*YP 4.0.13 was released
*Register here: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-summit-europe/features/co-located-events/#yocto-project-developer-day
*For the 4.3 release, we have merged and switched to the 6.5 kernel. Many different fixes for issues merged but for one issue we have not found a fix and there are continuing serial console problems. Workarounds are in place but appear only partially successful.
*Other 4.3 release blocking issues:
**There are space issues with strace ptest images
**There are QA regression report generation failures (patch in testing)
**Busybox serial console handling is broken (patch in testing)
**A curl CVE fix is due tomorrow
*We hope to build 4.3 once these issues are resolved
*A fix for the openssh ptest issue merged, thanks Mikko
*The bblock/bbunlock patches have merged, thanks Julien
*ttyrun merged, which improves serial console handling for images shared between different platform and addresses long standing issues, thanks Ross
*‘remove’ API for the hashequiv server merged, thanks Joshua
*Yocto Project is pleased to announce that the Sovereign Tech Fund is working with us, and this is how we are funding the items in the RFQ:

*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!

*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
