'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.25 was released
*YP 5.2.3 was released.
*YP 5.1.3 is pending review
*YP 5.0.12 was released.
*We are now at feature freeze for YP 5.2
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*Go was upgraded to 1.24, thanks to Jose and Hongxu for their work in making that happen and identifying the remaining reproducibility issue
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*Rust upgrades to 1.83 and possibly 1.84 are close and we are aiming to include them in the release if possible
*We have now updated to the 6.16 linux kernel
*The CVE/NVD situation is concerning enough we may delay the release build in the hope some improvements and process changes can be made.
*There are clang/llvm performance improvements we plan to merge before building 5.3 (Thanks Ross!)
*A cause of intermittent failures resulting in bitbake hangs was identified after 3 days of work from Richard (recursive events deadlocking)
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3, work is currently being done to migrate the autobuilder to use it.
*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.
*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
*A new version of uninative compatible with glibc 2.41 was released.
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
*The newcomer bug list has been triaged and has a number of new issues added.
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026

*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.
