'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We are now at feature freeze for 5.0, preparing to build M3
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*YP 4.3.3 was released
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*YP 3.1.32 is in QA
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*Several changes have merged for M3:
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
**genericarm64 machine (also added to autobuilder)
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
**go upgrade to 1.21.7
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
**rust upgrade to 1.75
*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.
**change to bmaptool hosting
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
**using ipk to generate poky-altcfg images with extra space added
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
**6.6.20 stable kernel update
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
**ability to use “extratools” on autobuilder for tests (e.g. imagemagick components)
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026 (full details pending)
*Changes still needed or under consideration
**genericarm64 helper artefacts publishing changes
**QA screenshot comparison
**sstate permissions issue testcase
**go upgrade to 1.22 (tests cleanly on oe-core now, concerns for other layers)
*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 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 5.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
*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.
