'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.19 has been through QA and is due for release
*YP 5.3 M3 is in QA
*YP 5.1 M1 rc2 is in QA
*YP 5.0.13 is under review for release
*RFC patches for the CVE tooling changes have been posted, help in review is appreciated
*Documentation updates related to many of the recent changes are in progress, thanks to all who have helped on these.
*There are SPDX 3.0 patches ready for review on the mailing list
*We have now past feature freeze for YP 5.3. To be accepted, patches that have a high bar until after we branch master from whinlatter.  Known issues:
*There are patches proposing that missing patch Upstream-Status entries be a fatal QA error, this is likely to merge soon as there have been no objections to it.
**check-layer tests are now running under nodistro instead of poky, so some layers are failing as they assume some DISTRO_FEATURES are enabled.
*We have a fix for the final Fedora 40 issue, thanks Victor.
**Toaster is broken with bitbake-setup (#16012). Help moving to supporting non-poky layouts would be good if anyone is using Toaster.
*We appreciate everyone fixing layers to work with master after recent changes, the autobuilder health is looking greener, thanks!
**The patch/cve metrics jobs need reviewing to be sure they’re correct with bitbake-setup (#16013)
*The copy_unihashes function was dropped from bitbake after the locked signature file improvements which simplifies further tooling work
**The build performance jobs don’t know that poky and oe-core are the same so the charts are currently wrong (#16014)
*There is discussion on openembedded-architecture about the details around  configuration fragment tooling potentially being integrated into bitbake
**Help welcomed to resolve these issues!
*There is an open letter the project has created related to the CVE/NVD situation, more information is available here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1990
*Upstream linux kernel just end-of-life’d 6.16 but whinlatter contains 6.16. We are evaluating the situation with 6.17, feedback on it (for/against and known issues) would be welcome.
*Please consider signing this to show support for those changes.
*“poky” as a combo-layer repository will soon no longer be needed or updated for master and whinlatter branches.
*Signatures from small businesses/consultancies are as welcome as those from larger organizations as we want to demonstrate the breadth of the need for these changes.
*There are likely going to be breaking changes to the npm fetcher related to ongoing security concerns.
*We continue to have trouble tracking down the rust reproducibility problem in rustdoc.
*Through post release upgrading our patch count reduced again and is now the lowest level since July 2008!

*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 are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*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
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.1. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.1_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs

*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.3_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
