'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.14 and YP 3.1.29 were released
*YP 4.2.4  has passed QA and under discussion pending release
*Toaster news:
**Testing for toaster is now starting to be enabled on the autobuilder although not all tests are currently passing and there are host specific issues.
**The ability to view existing builds is being extended to allow debugging use of toaster even if the original build didn’t use it
*In support of the above, BB_DEFAULT_EVENTLOG is being proposed as enabled by default in bitbake.conf so that an event log is stored for all builds. This could be useful for debugging outside of toaster in other tools too. There is a small performance/disk footprint overhead but this should be offset by the useful debug data.
*The length of builds (world and oe-selftest) continues to be a concern.
*When running the first nanbield stable series builds, our LTS maintainer remarked on being unable to get successful green builds. We did make significant improvements on the intermittent issues prior to release but clearly not enough unfortunately. Troubling issues include:
**https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15005 - parsing failure on ubuntu2004/debian11 systems, maybe python/pthreads related with host python
**https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15166 - debuginfod issues (Ross has some debugging improvements pending)
**Devtool “initial_rev” race issue, an example failure: https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/87/builds/6082/steps/14/logs/stdio
**several intermittent pstest issues
*There have been several fixes for meta-openembedded reproducibility issues and fixes for mirroring/CVE reporting on stable release branches, thanks Yoann.

'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
*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.
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026 (full details pending)

*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 4.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs

*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.
