'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.3 (M4) rc1 build is still pending
*YP 5.0.14 is due to be released
*YP 4.0.13 was released
*YP 5.3 rc4 is built and due to enter QA
*For the 4.3 release, we have merged and switched to the 6.5 kernel. Many different fixes for issues merged but for one issue we have not found a fix and there are continuing serial console problems. Workarounds are in place but appear only partially successful.
*There was an announcement about the new project roles: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2207
*Other 4.3 release blocking issues:
*There were a lot of problems encountered during the final 5.3 release build. Most of these should have been resolved.
**There are space issues with strace ptest images
*Patches started to merge for master development again. Unfortunately there is breakage on the autobuilder, probably from issues arising from Fedora 43 binaries being incompatible with older distros. Until this is resolved, patch flow will be limited.
**There are QA regression report generation failures (patch in testing)
*Further bitbake-setup changes under discussion for the new development cycle:
**Busybox serial console handling is broken (patch in testing)
**defaulting to a common sstate directory and hashequiv server
**A curl CVE fix is due tomorrow
**Allowing symlinking of local existing repos into the build instead of fetching
*We hope to build 4.3 once these issues are resolved
*We are considering entirely disabling the npm fetcher in bitbake due to the security issues until those are resolved.
*A fix for the openssh ptest issue merged, thanks Mikko
*The bblock/bbunlock patches have merged, thanks Julien
*ttyrun merged, which improves serial console handling for images shared between different platform and addresses long standing issues, thanks Ross
*‘remove’ API for the hashequiv server merged, thanks Joshua
*Yocto Project is pleased to announce that the Sovereign Tech Fund is working with us, and this is how we are funding the items in the RFQ:

*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: patchtest, layerindex, 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 4.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs

*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.
