'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1.30 is due to be released
*YP 5.0.5 is under review
*YP 4.0.15 and YP 5.0 M1 rc3 are in QA
*YP 4.0.23 is in QA
*The intermittent issues on the autobuilder continue to cause problems and along with issues in the regression reports, these lead to several rebuilds of M1.
*Patch merging is continuing to flow but there are a lot of upgrades pending after the recent AUH run.
*The intermittent issues are slowing down patch testing and merging. We simply don't have enough people to fix the issues quickly enough and the people we do have are struggling. This is now slowing down stable releases too.
*A patch is pending to remove support for BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY
*We have realized there are problems with the serial port code in qemu which may be resulting in some hangs or other issues. We will likely end up removing the “dumper” code (target command and monitor) to improve performance and reduce the side effects that code is currently causing.
*Yocto Project Compatible (and hence yocto-check-layer) is potentially undergoing some small tweaks which includes checking for SECURITY files in repository top levels, checking for network access outside do_fetch as part of normal builds and checking for disabled QA checks.  
*Python3-maturin support merged, thanks Tim.
*A potential new “include_all” conf file directive (discussed on the openembedded-architecture list: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2055 ) has no strong objections and is proceeding to proof of concept
*Rust updated to 1.71.1 but further updates are blocked on reproducibility issues.
*There are patches under review for the addition of configuration fragment management to bitbake. It does require the addition of support for ‘/’ characters in variable flag names (which has been requested in the past too).
*Two small changes to dependencies for strace and util-linux were identified which should make a big difference to unlocking dependency chains and improving build performance, thanks Yoann. Small changes like these can make a big difference to performance overall.
*The 5.2 development plans are being developed in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xsnN_HcaMhqg6Dn1P_19AnumDaUMQSdFZ_I4rjD830A/edit?usp=sharing
*An issue in configuration in one of the selftests was identified which was preventing sstate reuse. Fixing this should improve build times by removing the need to build those separate artifacts.
*We need to continue to develop this, thanks to all who have contributed so far!
*Regarding bugs, even if you can’t fix a bug, submitting a failing test case that can reproduce the issue significantly improves the chances it might get fixed.
*There will be no project public meetings on 26th, 28th December and 2nd January.

*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!
