'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1.15 is due to be released
*YP 5.1 M3 has been released
*YP 3.4.3 is due to build
*YP 4.0.21 has been released
*We decided to merge in a number of python recipes which allow us to build the sphinx documentation. These are used by our documentation build process and many of the dependencies were things which likely should have been in core anyway.
*YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) is being built
*There was a small performance tweak to bitbake’s codeparser cache code which seems to show around a 10% parsing speed improvement
*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.
*We have continued to take other minimal impact upgrades and this is having a positive impact on CVE numbers. We are looking likely to take the recently released libtool 2.4.7 since this is similar to 2.4.6 but keeps us current with upstream. Some recipes may need to clear out stale libtool m4 macros if version mismatch errors are seen.
*The final pieces of the release were merged:
*Toaster has seen further fixes and should be ready for release.
**sanity test for Ubuntu 24.04 userns/apparmor issue added
*The AVAILABLE_LICENSES variable was removed since it has parsing overhead, had bad implications for task hashes and is no longer needed by any of the core code.
**TCLIBCAPPEND properly deprecated
*Some changes are being proposed to the documentation build process which should make version handling in releases easier and less error prone.
**toaster fixtures tweaked
*If people see intermittent issues in their own builds, particularly if they’re the same as intermittent issues seen on the autobuilder, please do comment in the bugs mentioning when they happen as the frequency information does help us prioritize fixing the most common issues.
**buildtools updated
*Intermittent issues continue to be at record high levels and help is very much welcome in trying to resolve them. 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
**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.
