'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.2 M3 has been through QA with one issue found
*YP 5.2.3 was released.
*YP 5.0.8 is in QA
*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
*We have a new dashboard index page linking to key tools/data pages within the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/ . Help on further improvements is welcome. We are aiming to drive the data from the autobuilder.
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*Welcome improvements on syncing an sstate cache with a hash equivalence server were merged allowing more efficient hash equivalence server database cleanup, thanks!
*We have now updated to the 6.16 linux kernel
*Bitbake python function library files were not always being cached correctly in bitbake’s parse cache, this was fixed.
*There are clang/llvm performance improvements we plan to merge before building 5.3 (Thanks Ross!)
*We started to merge gcc 15 fixes, particularly in native recipes as this will likely cause problems during the next release cycle with newer distro versions if we do not act.
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3, work is currently being done to migrate the autobuilder to use it.
*There were a number of minor version upgrades for bugs and CVE related issues.
*This change will mean “poky” as a combo-layer repository will no longer be needed or updated.
*The recent annoying qemumips64 intermittent bug on the autobuilder looks to be a mips specific kernel issue which has been fixed upstream. We continue to wonder whether we should test mips/powerpc given the lack of interest in helping resolve issues.
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*There are several fetcher changes pending including the ability to specify both a tag and a source revision.
*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

*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.
