'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We are now a week away from feature freeze for 4.3.
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*YP 4.0.12 is pending TSC approval and due to release
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*YP 4.2.3 is in QA
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*We merged the 6.4 kernel and were able to resolve the preempt-rt issue (thanks Paul!) however intermittent hangs on qemuppc still remain as well as questions of x86 reliability on the autobuilder.
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*There are patches pending which remove source control revisions from PV and move them to PKGV, further simplifying WORKDIR paths and generally improving the code and the way AUTOREV works. This allows SRCPV to be removed as it is no longer needed. We believe all review discussion has been resolved at this point.
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
*Intermittent autobuilder issues, autobuilder hardware problems and large numbers of very intensive rebuilds with low sstate reuse are causing challenges in keeping patches flowing. Some intermittent issues were identified and resolved.
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
*Glibc 2.38 merged and a new uninative release was made.
*This change will mean “poky” as a combo-layer repository will no longer be needed or updated. This means autobuilder changes before we build 5.3 M3.
*We continue to see intermittent ptest failures for glib-networking and openssh, help would be much appreciated.
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*CVE metrics are still high but much reduced for master, thanks!
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
*We’re happy to be able to announce that some of the work in the RFQ will now be progressing, specifically that:
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
**Marta Rybczynska will be working on the security topic
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026 (full details pending)
**Alexander Kanvin will be working on the core workflow topic
*Other topic areas will likely be announced soon too.

*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 are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*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 that are currently unassigned for YP 4.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.2_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs

*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.3_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.
