*YP 5.0.14 is under review for release.
*YP 5.0.14 was released
*The final 5.3 build is still pending on fixing bugs from issues arising from the bitbake-setup changes. All other changes are now on hold for post release.
*YP 5.3 rc4 has passed QA and is under review
*We aim to build 5.3 when we have stable builds on the autobulder. Fixes from the changes around MACHINE/DISTRO conflict between conf/env and feature settings broke oe-selftest. The cooker feature change also exposed two existing bitbake *cache issues, particularly with memory resident bitbake. Those fixes merged but the fixes appear to be exposing further problems which are being investigated.
*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.
*Other potential changes that have been discussed but don’t have workable patches yet and are not going to block release::
*There was an announcement about the new project roles: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2207
**to a common sstate directory and hashequiv server
*Welcome to Paul and Yoann in their new roles and huge thanks to Steve!
*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.
*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
*Further bitbake-setup changes under discussion for the new development cycle:
**defaulting to a common sstate directory and hashequiv server
**Allowing symlinking of local existing repos into the build instead of fetching
**Allowing symlinking of local existing repos into the build instead of fetching
*There are likely going to be breaking changes to the npm fetcher related to ongoing security concerns but we are lacking 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!
*We are considering entirely disabling the npm fetcher in bitbake due to the security issues until those are resolved

*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
