'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We are now at feature freeze for 5.0, preparing to build M3
*YP 5.1.3 was released
*YP 4.3.3 was released
*YP 5.2 M3 is in QA
*YP 3.1.32 is in QA
*YP 5.0.8 is ready for QA
*Several changes have merged for M3:
*We are now at feature freeze for YP 5.2
**genericarm64 machine (also added to autobuilder)
*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.
**go upgrade to 1.21.7
*An infrastructure issue where git mirroring was stalling has been fixed
**rust upgrade to 1.75
*There continue to be 502 gateway errors on some services due to overload from bot activity. This is impacting the autobuilder as well.
**change to bmaptool hosting
*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.
**using ipk to generate poky-altcfg images with extra space added
*We now have gitstats, SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS validation, toaster fixtures validation and wider use of central releases information within the autobuilder.
**6.6.20 stable kernel update
*There have been improvements to the SPDX generation but these appear to have caused a significant performance regression which is being investigated.
**ability to use “extratools” on autobuilder for tests (e.g. imagemagick components)
*A cause of intermittent failures from a python warning has been worked around and a small race fix for bitbake was also merged.
*Changes still needed or under consideration
*Fitimage and u-boot tests were reworked and rationalized which was long overdue, thanks Adrian.
**genericarm64 helper artefacts publishing changes
*Emails have been sent about the CVE/NVD situation proposing a path forward.
**QA screenshot comparison
*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.
**sstate permissions issue testcase
*Our own systemctl python script has been replaced with the correct tool for better compatibility
**go upgrade to 1.22 (tests cleanly on oe-core now, concerns for other layers)
*We’ve identified a significant increase in build disk usage from the rust upgrade.
*We are seeing some odd failures, there was a devtool selftest failure (bug 15418 filed) and also an opkg lock issue as we enabled ipk images but that hasn’t recurred (yet). The opkg lock issue has been seen in builds by Khem previously.
*There is a concerning problem when trying to update the CVE database since CPE restrictions don’t always update when changed upstream. This is causing higher numbers of CVEs to be reported on the autobuilder generated charts.
*There have been questions about official RISC-V support in this next release, especially since it is an LTS. We will trial qemuriscv64 support in M3 but remove it before the final LTS release as there is no sponsor for that support.

*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!

*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

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.
