'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.1 M3 is due to be released
*YP 5.2 M3 is due to be released
*YP 4.0.21 is in QA
*YP 5.0.8 is due to be released
*We are now at feature freeze and working on bug fixing for the final 5.1 release builds
*YP 5.1.4 is in QA
*Due to timing of autobuilder infrastructure changes, vacations, no release blocking bugs and also seemingly limited availability of people to help with general bug fixing, we are considering an early M4 build, maybe even this week. If that would cause problems for anyone, please let Richard/the TSC know ASAP.
*We are at feature freeze for YP 5.2 with our first rc build next week
*Support for TCLIBCAPPEND was dropped.
*We have continued to merge gcc 15 fixes in anticipation of being prepared for host distro changes in the next six months.
*We updated to only support the “styhead” layer series namespace.
*The minimum python version was increased to 3.9 with support for Ubuntu 20.04 now requiring buildtools due to changing g++ requirements.
*The new autobuilder infrastructure is showing a number of challenges including some new bugs, new intermittent issues, challenges with new distros and a new reproducibility issue but we’re working through them
*SRC_URI entries for git now support tag verification against a specified source revision
*There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.
*Bitbake fetcher support for multiple revisions in a single git SRC_URI entry was removed for code simplification.
*Upcoming Event:  For those attending OSS EU in Vienna, Yocto Project Developer Day Sept. 19th 9am-5pm. 
*Kernel stable updates merged including a key qemumips fix and various CVE fixes.
*Register here: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-summit-europe/features/co-located-events/#yocto-project-developer-day
*A pseudo bug was identified and there is a reproduction patch posted however we’re struggling to work out how to fix it. We do have a workaround for the underlying pciutils trigger.
*We are aware of 500/502 errors from the project git servers. These are caused by load from the significant number of AI crawlers the infrastructure is being overloaded with which is hard to mitigate against.
