'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.7 and YP 4.2 M2 are in QA
*YP 5.1 M3 is due to be released
*We switched to the 6.1 kernel by default for M2. Unfortunately there are a couple of intermittent issues that seem to have crept in. One is a reproducibility issue in perf, likely with some host component causing it as it only occurs on second builds. The second appears to be an intermittent networking issue accessing a python http-server for testing dnf which appeared after the kernel version change.
*YP 4.0.21 is in QA
*We are continuing to see other intermittent failures which are limiting how quickly we can merge changes. A summary of some of the key issues was sent to the mailing list: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/176476
*We are now at feature freeze and working on bug fixing for the final 5.1 release builds
*There have been changes to the way the codeparser cache in bitbake stores data which should reduce cache size, reduce the times data needs to be written out and generally help performance.
*Due to timing of autobuilder infrastructure changes, vacations, no release blocking bugs and also seemingly limited availability of people to help with general bug fixing, we are considering an early M4 build, maybe even this week. If that would cause problems for anyone, please let Richard/the TSC know ASAP.
*CVE levels in master are still high but there are patches in progress for most issues as I understand it.
*Support for TCLIBCAPPEND was dropped.
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*We updated to only support the “styhead” layer series namespace.
*The new autobuilder infrastructure is showing a number of challenges including some new bugs, new intermittent issues, challenges with new distros and a new reproducibility issue but we’re working through them
*There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.
*Upcoming Event:  For those attending OSS EU in Vienna, Yocto Project Developer Day Sept. 19th 9am-5pm. 
*Register here: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-summit-europe/features/co-located-events/#yocto-project-developer-day

*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
