'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.25 is out of QA pending review
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*YP 5.1.3 is in QA
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*We are now 1 week from feature freeze for 5.2
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*Patch review remains a challenge due to the limited number of people involved and the volume and breadth of changes. That work distracts from work on areas like clang or other improvements.
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*We are struggling to get stable releases to build cleanly due to intermittent failures, which places strain on everyone. Sadly, traction on help for the intermittent issues remains problematic.
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
*There are multiple occasional but annoying autobuilder failures we could do with help debugging/fixing, summarized by https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
*Bitbake-setup patches have been submitted but merging remains unlikely simply due to lack of participation in the review/testing process.
*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.
*The gomod mirror issue in meta-openembedded continues to give failed builds on the autobuilder. There would be ways to add short term fixes. The better fixes likely involve rewriting mirror url handling, which can’t be rushed into and discussions on that are stalling anyway.
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*The newcomer bug list has been triaged and has a number of new issues added.
*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: 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 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

We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
