'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.22 was released
*YP 5.3 M3 is in QA
*The new autobuilder cluster (valkyrie) is up and running and all work is being done there. The old cluster is being shut down.
*YP 5.0.13 is under review for release
*The CDN and mirror tests are now working reliably and we are getting green builds again. Huge thanks to Michael Halstead for the work being done, mostly behind the scenes.
*Documentation updates related to many of the recent changes are in progress, thanks to all who have helped on these.
*Progress has been made on many of the blocking intermittent issues on the new autobuilder but many rarer issues remain.
*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:
*Rust tests on the MIPS architecture have been disabled as nobody is using/supporting 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.
*Toaster test suite improvements have merged but more work really needs to be done there to improve some of the test conditions.
**Toaster is broken with bitbake-setup (#16012). Help moving to supporting non-poky layouts would be good if anyone is using Toaster.
*We have a new command line tool to help with the SWAT, thanks to Mathieu for putting that together. https://git.yoctoproject.org/swat-tools/
**The patch/cve metrics jobs need reviewing to be sure they’re correct with bitbake-setup (#16013)
*The UKI (Unified Kernel Images) series finally merged with tests, which will help ensure the code keeps working in the future.
**The build performance jobs don’t know that poky and oe-core are the same so the charts are currently wrong (#16014)
*We’re seeing a pattern of people submitting patches to master when they’ve only tested them against older releases. In several cases the issue wasn’t even present there. Please don’t do this, it wastes a lot of time. If you see the issue against an older release, please make that clear.
**Help welcomed to resolve these issues!
*For 5.2 it would be helpful to have rough development plans for areas of the project if anyone is able to help document a rough roadmap/plan for them. The following areas are known to be being or need working on:
*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.
**Autobuilder
*“poky” as a combo-layer repository will soon no longer be needed or updated for master and whinlatter branches.
**Binary Distro
*There are likely going to be breaking changes to the npm fetcher related to ongoing security concerns.
**Bitbake config fragments
**Bitbake setup process/tooling
**GUI screen shot QA test
**IDE Plugin development
**Layer Index
**Patchtest
**Security Tooling
**Swatbot
**Toaster
*If there are other areas we should have plans for, please let us know.

*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.
