'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.2 has been released, thanks to everyone who has worked on it!
*YP 5.1 M3 is due to be released
*YP 4.1.4 is due to be released
*YP 4.0.21 is in QA
*YP 3.1.25 is in QA
*We are now at feature freeze and working on bug fixing for the final 5.1 release builds
*The warnings issues on the autobuilder have mostly been resolved but there are a number of lingering intermittent issues that we’re still working through.
*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.
*Patches have been merging into master but there continues to be a number of issues being found in testing which does slow down the process.
*Support for TCLIBCAPPEND was dropped.
*There are time64 patches being proposed to handle Y2038 issues on 32 bit architectures which likely need further discussion since the compiler flag changes aren’t without risk and potential side effects.
*We updated to only support the “styhead” layer series namespace.
*The minimum kernel version for OE-Core is now set at 5.15 as part of the time64 work but also to aid performance.
*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
*We’re aiming to improve documentation as we go along in this release, please keep this in mind when sending patches!
*There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.
*There is a proposal on the bitbake mailing list which would allow the possibility of layer overrides, which could be useful for some of the QA checks recently discussed.
*Upcoming Event:  For those attending OSS EU in Vienna, Yocto Project Developer Day Sept. 19th 9am-5pm.

*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

*We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
