'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.25 was released
*YP 5.3 M3 is in QA
*YP 5.1.3 is pending review
*YP 5.0.13 is under review for release
*We are now at feature freeze for YP 5.2
*Documentation updates related to many of the recent changes are in progress, thanks to all who have helped on these.
*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 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 upgrades to 1.83 and possibly 1.84 are close and we are aiming to include them in the release if possible
**check-layer tests are now running under nodistro instead of poky, so some layers are failing as they assume some DISTRO_FEATURES are enabled.
*The CVE/NVD situation is concerning enough we may delay the release build in the hope some improvements and process changes can be made.
**Toaster is broken with bitbake-setup (#16012). Help moving to supporting non-poky layouts would be good if anyone is using Toaster.
*A cause of intermittent failures resulting in bitbake hangs was identified after 3 days of work from Richard (recursive events deadlocking)
**The patch/cve metrics jobs need reviewing to be sure they’re correct with bitbake-setup (#16013)
*Bitbake-setup patches have been submitted but merging remains unlikely simply due to lack of participation in the review/testing process.
**The build performance jobs don’t know that poky and oe-core are the same so the charts are currently wrong (#16014)
*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.
**Help welcomed to resolve these issues!
*A new version of uninative compatible with glibc 2.41 was released.
*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.
*The newcomer bug list has been triaged and has a number of new issues added.
*“poky” as a combo-layer repository will soon no longer be needed or updated for master and whinlatter branches.
*There are likely going to be breaking changes to the npm fetcher related to ongoing security concerns.

*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

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.
