'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7 M2 rc2 is being released today Mar. 5, 2019.
*YP 5.0.13 was released
*YP 2.7 M3 has not yet been built but progress has been made in resolving several issues:
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to be released
**bug 13178 “X server and matchbox desktop don't start up properly on beaglebone” was fixed
*YP 4.0.31 is in QA
**multiconfig bugs have been fixed and a test case added
*Documentation updates related to many of the recent changes are in progress, thanks to all who have helped on these.
**qemu virgl code and selftests have been added (not enabled as default)
*We plan to merge the documentation changes then stop updating the poky repository master branch.
**qemu native build was split into user and system components
*We are now past the feature freeze for YP 5.3. To be accepted, patches that have a high bar until after we branch master from whinlatter.  Known issues:
**lttng-tools ptest timeout fixed
**check-layer tests are now running under nodistro instead of poky, so some layers are failing as they assume some DISTRO_FEATURES are enabled.
**systemd version upgrade
**Toaster is broken with bitbake-setup (#16012). Help moving to supporting non-poky layouts would be good if anyone is using Toaster.
**ltp recipe version upgrade
**The patch/cve metrics jobs need reviewing to be sure they’re correct with bitbake-setup (#16013)
**perl ptest regressions fixed
**The build performance jobs don’t know that poky and oe-core are the same so the charts are currently wrong (#16014)
*The list of remaining potential items for M3 is:
**Help welcomed to resolve these issues!
**5.0 linux kernel (and libc headers) (Bruce)
*Upstream linux kernel just end-of-life’d 6.16 but whinlatter contains 6.16. The 6.17 kernel has run into issues we don’t have availability/time to resolve unfortunately so we will have to release with 6.16.
**qemuarm to v7 changes (Jon)
*YP 6.0 (wrynose) and the next LTS releases proposed timeline: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BlvtPxpYsxHkeL10DFBQzBI9q_1HIk9r2FPxlfsQ95U/edit?tab=t.0
**Aarch64 build host support finalization (Jon)
*There are likely going to be breaking changes to the npm fetcher related to ongoing security concerns.
**Busybox ‘full’ utility replacement (Tom)
*YP 2.5.3 is nearly ready for building however the autobuilder-helper changes need to be resolved for the stable branches, as do the resulttool changes in master to move to the new QA process.


'''Planned Releases for YP 2.7:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7 M2 Released Mar. 5, 2019
*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!
*YP 2.7 M3 Cutoff is Feb. 25, 2019
*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
*YP 2.7 M3 Release Target is Mar. 8, 2019
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
*YP 2.7 M4 Cutoff is Apr. 1, 2019
*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
*YP 2.7 M4 Release Target is Apr. 26, 2019
*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.
*Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*Ongoing project development plans are being developed in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xsnN_HcaMhqg6Dn1P_19AnumDaUMQSdFZ_I4rjD830A/edit?usp=sharing We need to continue to develop this as it will allow us to potentially find ways to fund specific work items.
