'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.19 is in QA
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*YP 5.1 M1 rc1 is building
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*We identified the performance problem in bitbake using hash equivalence servers and have made changes to batch queries and improve build times
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*Extra logging for that performance problem is available by setting BB_LOGCONFIG=XXX/bitbake/contrib/autobuilderlog.json (the more verbose logging the autobuilder uses) which will then show if initial query or rehash looping takes longer than 30s for iterations or 60s overall.
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*We changed locked-sigs to include the hash equivalence mapping data, removing the need to copy the cache file.
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
*Libtool was upgraded to the 2.5.0 alpha release, many patches were merged upstream.
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
*Qemu has been upgraded to 9.0.0, kernel headers to 6.9 and stable and dev kernel updates merged (to 6.6.32)
*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.
*There is one remaining issue on fedora40, systemtap-native does not build. The other Fedora 40 are believed to be fixed.
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*Some layers are setting fallbacks for UNPACKDIR which break OE-Core by trying to claim compatibility with everything. Errors have been added to make this problem clear.
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
sstate has had changes to fix a bug where build-history data was inconsistent. The siteconfig class was removed to make that change easier and improve the code, it was mostly unused anyway.
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
*The parallelism in the hash client was removed as batching queries is much more effective and easier on the server.
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026 (full details pending)
*There is an open letter the project has created related to the CVE/NVD situation, more information is available here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1990
*Please consider signing this to show support for those changes.
*Signatures from small businesses/consultancies are as welcome as those from larger organizations as we want to demonstrate the breadth of the need for these changes.
*There is a further update from Marta/Syslinbit on the CVE tooling/patches
*We continue to have trouble tracking down the rust reproducibility problem in rustdoc.
*Post release upgrading is resulting in an improvement in patch metrics which is great to see, more should appear next week in the statistics 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: 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 5.1. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.1_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs

*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.
