'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.3 M1 is in QA
*YP 5.0.14 was released
*Patches continue to merge into master for upgrades and fixes.
*YP 5.3 rc4 has passed QA and is under review
*The UNPACKDIR layout changes merged. This has been disruptive for layers and it will take a while for changes to filter through various layers. It does set up better in the future with tools like devtool to avoid having lots of legacy layouts to support, and cleans up git recipes to be easier to write going forward.
*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.
*To support this, the layer series was updated to whinlatter in core.
*There was an announcement about the new project roles: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2207
*The clang build time and size increases continue to cause significant concern.
*Welcome to Paul and Yoann in their new roles and huge thanks to Steve!
*There are patches in progress for improving gomod support in devtool and the mirroring issue for gomod was resolved.The main mirroring issues left are around “downloadfilename” support in urls which likely needs to be rewritten.
*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.
*Support for BUILDHISTORY_RESET was removed as it was error prone and better handled on the CI side of integration.
*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
*OE-Core is adopting the use of glvnd for libGL abstraction
*Further bitbake-setup changes under discussion for the new development cycle:
*The initial RISC-V tune changes merged
**defaulting to a common sstate directory and hashequiv server
*Support for distro/machine selection with builtin fragments was added.
**Allowing symlinking of local existing repos into the build instead of fetching
*A section was added to the manual on primary and secondary architecture/feature support for Yocto Project: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/ref-manual/yocto-project-supported-features.html
*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!
*An email about this was sent to the openembedded-architecture list: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2162
*We are considering entirely disabling the npm fetcher in bitbake due to the security issues until those are resolved
*For M2, the following changes have been mentioned as possibilities:
**bitbake-setup
**wic split from OE-Core
**RISC-V tune changes (part 2)
**go/gomod fetcher changes
**switch classextend to use [filter] support from bitbake

*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 will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
