'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.1 M3 is due to be released
*YP 5.0.14 is due to be released
*YP 4.0.21 is in QA
*YP 5.3 rc4 is built and due to enter QA
*We are now at feature freeze and working on bug fixing for the final 5.1 release builds
*There was an announcement about the new project roles: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2207
*Due to timing of autobuilder infrastructure changes, vacations, no release blocking bugs and also seemingly limited availability of people to help with general bug fixing, we are considering an early M4 build, maybe even this week. If that would cause problems for anyone, please let Richard/the TSC know ASAP.
*There were a lot of problems encountered during the final 5.3 release build. Most of these should have been resolved.
*Support for TCLIBCAPPEND was dropped.
*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.
*We updated to only support the “styhead” layer series namespace.
*Further bitbake-setup changes under discussion for the new development cycle:
*The new autobuilder infrastructure is showing a number of challenges including some new bugs, new intermittent issues, challenges with new distros and a new reproducibility issue but we’re working through them
**defaulting to a common sstate directory and hashequiv server
*There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.
**Allowing symlinking of local existing repos into the build instead of fetching
*Upcoming Event:  For those attending OSS EU in Vienna, Yocto Project Developer Day Sept. 19th 9am-5pm. 
*We are considering entirely disabling the npm fetcher in bitbake due to the security issues until those are resolved.
*Register here: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-summit-europe/features/co-located-events/#yocto-project-developer-day

*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
