'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*M3 rc1 has been built and been through QA. Unfortunately beaglebone fails to boot so we’ll have to go to an rc2. There were 4 other issues reported by QA too (3 ptest regressions and a bitbake UI issue).
*YP 5.1 M3 has been released
*We plan to build 3.1.3 imminently
*YP 4.0.21 has been released
*The sphinx documentation transition has merged. There is still work needed to clean up various links and other conversion glitches as well as areas the manual needs to be brought up to date. Any help much appreciated. Big thanks to Nico for driving this!
*YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) is being built
*The new documentation can be seen at  https://docs.yoctoproject.org/,
*There are YP 5.2 proposed milestone dates https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TDrD9nFjosvLHa7EfL_Y1-1slK7u5Am6NZV6QRF2P6s/edit - please review and let us know if there are any concerns.
*One significant potential cause for autobuilder timeout issues has been identified, potentially the journal on ext4 filesystems was causing IO prioritisation to fail as the journal only runs with one IO level. We’ve modified the journal options on autobuilder workers to be “writeback” to avoid this. This should reduce autobuilder bitbake timeout issues.
*The final pieces of the release were merged:
*Two of the three significant autobuilder issues mentioned last week remain:
**sanity test for Ubuntu 24.04 userns/apparmor issue added
**qemumips fails with systemd with 256MB memory, it needs 512MB. If we enable 512MB, we see random hangs. Unless someone can debug and sort the qemu memory issues, we may end up disabling core-image-sato-sdk and core-image-full-cmdline for qemumips+systemd
**TCLIBCAPPEND properly deprecated
**networking with qemu images appears to glitch at times (particularly slower targets such as ltp and qemumips), the session stalls with “no route to host”. We need better serial interrogation to determine the state of qemu when this happens, it's unclear if qemu/kernel hangs, networking fails or what is breaking. Help to add this extra debugging would be much appreciated.
**toaster fixtures tweaked
*There are new autobuilder issues this week, a pseudo bug appears to be being exposed as well as new intermittent issues, as yet not looked into.
**buildtools updated
*We continue to struggle with a number of autobuilder intermittent bugs. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT Help with any of these would be much appreciated, unfortunately it is proving hard to find anyone interested in helping figure these out and they significantly hamper our testing.
**non-deterministic libsdl2 configure issue fixed
**gitsm configparser change reverted
**many other varied and useful fixes
*Since there is now an rc build heading to QA, master and styhead will diverge. There are some patches in master-next which were deemed too late/risky for the release (including the gomod class changes)
*The new autobuilder has had NAS problems when scaled to final size, those are being worked on but it will delay switching to the new system a little.
*There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.

*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: 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
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers

*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.2_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.1. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.1_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs

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.
