'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.2 M3 is due to be released
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*YP 5.0.8 is due to be released
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*YP 5.1.4 is in QA
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*We are at feature freeze for YP 5.2 with our first rc build next week
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*We have continued to merge gcc 15 fixes in anticipation of being prepared for host distro changes in the next six months.
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
*The minimum python version was increased to 3.9 with support for Ubuntu 20.04 now requiring buildtools due to changing g++ requirements.
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
*SRC_URI entries for git now support tag verification against a specified source revision
*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.
*Bitbake fetcher support for multiple revisions in a single git SRC_URI entry was removed for code simplification.
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*Kernel stable updates merged including a key qemumips fix and various CVE fixes.
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
*A pseudo bug was identified and there is a reproduction patch posted however we’re struggling to work out how to fix it. We do have a workaround for the underlying pciutils trigger.
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
*We are aware of 500/502 errors from the project git servers. These are caused by load from the significant number of AI crawlers the infrastructure is being overloaded with which is hard to mitigate against.
**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.
