'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We are now at feature freeze for 5.0, preparing to build M3
*YP 5.0.14 was released
*YP 4.3.3 is in QA.
*YP 5.3 rc4 has passed QA and is under review
*The changes which we’d still like to see in 5.0 that have not merged yet are:
*The 5.3 QA report is available and no major release blocking issues were found so we should be able to finally make the release.
**genericarm64 machine
*There was an announcement about the new project roles: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2207
**change to rust test suite logging
*Welcome to Paul and Yoann in their new roles and huge thanks to Steve!
**useradd fix
*Patches for master are merging and the builds are looking greener, there is a problem with the test result regression reports still causing failures as well as some check-layer issues.
**sstate permissions issue testcase
*We have isolated the Fedora43 workers until we can root cause the binary problems it was causing when the sstate was shared to older systems
*Big thanks to those who submitted their changes before the deadline!
*Further bitbake-setup changes under discussion for the new development cycle:
*There are also several concerning issues without any clear resolution path at present:
**defaulting to a common sstate directory and hashequiv server
**rust upgrade blocked by reproducibility issues
**Allowing symlinking of local existing repos into the build instead of fetching
**musl upgrade blocked by large number of unsubmitted pending patches
*The project is exploring the idea of applying for funding for security related work. If anyone (individual or consultancies) has ideas, please talk to Paul/Richard/TSC. This is an opportunity to work on those issues you never have time/funding for!
**nativesdk-systemd usage broken by usrmerge requirement (we can’t changing the SDK layout now)
*We are considering entirely disabling the npm fetcher in bitbake due to the security issues until those are resolved
**go isn't upgraded
**concern about dbus configure flags for testing
*There are several significant and useful changes which have merged recently:
**Improvements to devtool to use git notes
**devtool IDE support
**Hashserve improvements (cleanup API, parallel queries, existence API)
**oe-setup-build script merged
**python_mesonpy support
**various git fetcher fixes/tweaks
**vscode integration improvements
**CVE fixes or exclusion list tweaks
*There have been questions about official RISC-V support in this next release, especially since it is an LTS. There is the potential to do this since the configurations have been written and are close to working. We’re wondering about trial testing this for M3 as a proof of concept. Without higher tier project membership support, this will not make it into the LTS final release though.

*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 5.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs

*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 6.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_6.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*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.
