'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.3 has been through QA with a clean report and is likely to be released
*YP 5.1.3 was released
*The CVE count for master rose sharply this week but a number of fixes were sent by Khem, thanks!
*YP 5.2 M3 is in QA
*Bitbake changes in class handling merged which means classes can now be enforced to be in “global” or “recipe” scope. This handles a long standing usability issue of it not being clear which scope classes should be used in. For example, “testimage” now needs to be included via IMAGE_CLASSES and not via INHERIT. Global class inclusions in recipes such as “base” and “package” will now show a parsing error. “base” was particularly pointless and can simply be removed as it was always inherited.
*YP 5.0.8 is ready for QA
*The rust toolchain changes merged and are now being tested by default on the autobuilder but there is one intermittent issue with shebang length overflow in the SDK which still needs to be resolved
*We are now at feature freeze for YP 5.2
*We upgraded glibc to 2.36 and produced a new uninative version which supports this.
*We have a new dashboard index page linking to key tools/data pages within the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/ . Help on further improvements is welcome. We are aiming to drive the data from the autobuilder.
*There are patches out for review for the debug path improvements. These rely on a gcc patch and small change of gcc behavior which is being discussed with upstream.
*An infrastructure issue where git mirroring was stalling has been fixed
*There were cleanups to copyright and license headers in OE-Core and Bitbake.
*There continue to be 502 gateway errors on some services due to overload from bot activity. This is impacting the autobuilder as well.
*“largefile” support in oe-core was cleaned up and removed as we assume this everywhere now, completing something we said would happen in release notes a few years ago.
*The buildbot workers display has been fixed to allow more builds to be shown and an autobuilder build scheduling issue has been resolved allowing better resource utilization.
*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
*We now have gitstats, SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS validation, toaster fixtures validation and wider use of central releases information within the autobuilder.
*There have been improvements to the SPDX generation but these appear to have caused a significant performance regression which is being investigated.
*A cause of intermittent failures from a python warning has been worked around and a small race fix for bitbake was also merged.
*Fitimage and u-boot tests were reworked and rationalized which was long overdue, thanks Adrian.
*Emails have been sent about the CVE/NVD situation proposing a path forward.
*The gomod mirror issue in meta-openembedded was continuing to give failed builds on the autobuilder.The patch has been reverted in meta-openembedded for now to regain stable builds. Warnings were creeping in whilst the error was masking them. We need to fix the root cause.
*Our own systemctl python script has been replaced with the correct tool for better compatibility
*We’ve identified a significant increase in build disk usage from the rust upgrade.


'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*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 4.1 See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.1_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.2_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. 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.
