'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) is in QA, the final work item is updating the documentation. Help to write and review release notes and migration guides is greatly appreciated.
*YP 5.2 M3 is due to be released
*YP 5.0.4 is out of QA and under review for release.
*YP 5.0.8 is due to be released
*master and styhead have now diverged, so be aware of this if you’re tracking git branches.
*YP 5.1.4 is in QA
*The new release series name is available in OE-Core master, ‘walnascar’ aka ‘walna’ verbally. Users are encouraged to update their master/devel branches to this.
*We are at feature freeze for YP 5.2 with our first rc build next week
*Early testing shows problems in Fedora 41 related to pseudo. Help in debugging and root causing appreciated.
*We have continued to merge gcc 15 fixes in anticipation of being prepared for host distro changes in the next six months.
*The Ubuntu 24.04 with NFS issue has been resolved, but unless we respin the release build will not be fixed in 5.1.0.  A fix is already integrated into bitbake and will be in the first point release.
*The minimum python version was increased to 3.9 with support for Ubuntu 20.04 now requiring buildtools due to changing g++ requirements.
*Migration to the new autobuilder is proceeding with regular users now encouraged to trigger builds on the new cluster to stress test and identify any issues.
*SRC_URI entries for git now support tag verification against a specified source revision
*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.
*Bitbake fetcher support for multiple revisions in a single git SRC_URI entry was removed for code simplification.
*There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.
*Kernel stable updates merged including a key qemumips fix and various CVE fixes.
*For 5.2 it would be helpful to have rough development plans for areas of the project if anyone is able to help document a rough roadmap/plan for them. The following areas are known to be being or need working on:
*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.
**Autobuilder
*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.
**Binary Distro
**Bitbake config fragments
**Bitbake setup process/tooling
**GUI screen shot QA test
**IDE Plugin development
**Layer Index
**Patchtest
**Security Tooling
**Swatbot
**Toaster
*If there are other areas we should have plans for, please let us know.
