'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.3 was released
*YP 5.1 M3 has been released
*YP 3.1.19 has been built and is in QA
*YP 4.0.21 has been released
*We are now at feature freeze for 4.1.
*YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) is being built
*The 4.1 build is planned as soon as we resolve the status of some pending patches. The known remaining issues are the rust automated tests, layer setup changes and gcc and rust version upgrades. We also need to fix some autobuilder errors such as the llvm reproducibility issue with mesa.
*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.
*Several patch series have been problematic in the last week which has put strain on our infrastructure, particularly the binutils upgrade.
*The final pieces of the release were merged:
*The CVE count for master rose sharply again this week due to multiple issues in vim and tiff. The vim issues have been patched, tiff hasn’t as yet.
**sanity test for Ubuntu 24.04 userns/apparmor issue added
*We have seen a sharp rise in the number of patches in OE-Core, particularly related to changes in new clang versions. Many of these have been submitted upstream and/or have good reasons for being present but we need to continue to work to reduce our patch burden.
**TCLIBCAPPEND properly deprecated
*Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent issues. 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
**toaster fixtures tweaked
**buildtools updated
**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
