'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.0.5 was released.
*YP 5.2.3 was released.
*YP 4.0.23 is in under review.
*YP 5.0.12 was released.
*Patch merging is continuing to flow but there are a lot of upgrades pending that were recently posted.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY was removed.
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*yocto-check-layer is now checking for SECURITY files and there are changes planned for increasing the QA checks tested for.
*We have now updated to the 6.16 linux kernel
*The yocto-testresults repository was reworked and the commits recreated to avoid problems with the size of the repository. The log files were separated to an http share here: https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/testresult-logarchives/
*There are clang/llvm performance improvements we plan to merge before building 5.3 (Thanks Ross!)
*These changes pose a question/challenge for the stable branches. The changes mean we should avoid breaking git mirroring.
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3, work is currently being done to migrate the autobuilder to use it.
*As a result of this work, the reproducible builds summary page now functions much faster.
*This change will mean “poky” as a combo-layer repository will no longer be needed or updated.
*Several performance tweaks were made for bitbake pipe handling for large amounts of log data to avoid slow ptest builds and hangs.
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*A potential new “include_all” conf file directive (discussed on the openembedded-architecture list: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2055 ) has no strong objections and is proceeding to proof of concept
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
*There are patches under review for the addition of configuration fragment management to bitbake. It does require the addition of support for ‘/’ characters in variable flag names (which has been requested in the past too).
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
*The 5.2 development plans are being developed in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xsnN_HcaMhqg6Dn1P_19AnumDaUMQSdFZ_I4rjD830A/edit?usp=sharing
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026
*We need to continue to develop this, thanks to all who have contributed so far!

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