'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.2 M3 was released
*Richard Purdie is on holiday this week. For any urgent questions please contact Ross Burton who is covering.
*YP 4.0.8 is in QA
*Last week was the Open Source Summit and Yocto Project Developer Day. Many thanks to Josef, Megan, and Philip for arranging this event which was well attended and was great to attend (RB)
*YP 4.1.3 is ready for QA
*YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) has passed QA, the final work item is updating the documentation. Help to write and review release notes and migration guides is greatly appreciated.
*We are now in feature freeze for 4.2. We are continuing to merge some version upgrades where the stability of the release is unlikely to be affected.
*master and styhead have now diverged, so be aware of this if you’re tracking git branches.
*Patches continue to merge into master and there are some good bug fixes in there
*Migration to the new autobuilder has been postponed by a month to October, due to scaling issues and problems related to NFS and Ubuntu 24.04.  https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15596 has further details if anyone has insight into new coreutils plus NFS access control lists. Everyone who has the authority to trigger builds is encouraged to use the new cluster to stress test it.
*There is a bugfix for bitbake’s XMLRPC server mode but the lack of bug reports raise a concern about how widely it is being used.
*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.
*There are a number of ptest related issues (mostly test naming) which the new regression reports are highlighting. If anyone is interested in helping clean up and improve the ptests and toolchain tests, please let us know.
*There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.
*CVE levels in the LTS releases are at higher levels than they have been for a while which is a concern.
We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.

*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!
