'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.33 is awaiting approval
*YP 5.0.17 is due to be released
*YP 5.0.16 is in QA
*YP 6.0 M3 is in QA
*YP 6.0 M2 is due to build this week but is blocked by high priority bugs.
*YP 4.0.35 is queued for QA
*There are currently 5 high open bugs, which will block M2. Three have line of sight to being resolved:
*We have converted over to sbom-cve-check and dropped cve-check. This has caused a significant increase in CVEs reported, these are being triaged.
**rust do_test_compile/do_install segfault (#16058)
*Issues with pending work needed:
**Generation of releases.json needs updating (#16138)
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
**AB-INT: do_image_wic: tar command return exit status 2 (#16143)
**Reports of pseudo errors on Fedora 44 beta related to openat2()
*Two are currently needing further work:
**Intermittent qemu boot failures of qemuarmv5 (and possibly qemuarm) since the last kernel upgrade
**x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (#16074)
**Meta-oe cve layer filtering under new tooling (metrics script tweak?)
**AB-INT: opkg-build segmentation fault (#16078)
**Reprodicubility issues with strace/apr-util after gnulib macro changes (patches in testing)
*We removed the bazaar, osc and cvs fetchers since they are obsolete and nobody should be using them
*There was disruption to git services last week due to scraping attacks against the servers. This resulted in connection issues whilst those were mitigated, particularly the git protocol access.
*We removed sysvinit compatibility support from systemd images since this will not be supported by upstream during the lifespan of our upcoming LTS release.
git:// protocol access to git.yoctoproject.org and git.openembeded.org is deprecated and going forward https:// URLs should be used to access git repositories. We are aiming to discontinue git protocol use.
*We removed legacy tls support from openssl in the interests of providing better secure defaults.
*The recent wic changes will need wic support files to be placed in files/wic within layers going forwards.
*The number of intermittent failures affecting builds, both stable and development, continues to be problematic - we continue to prioritise addressing these since any given build is now statistically likely to hit one or more of them.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and intermittent build failures are still problematic, including the emergence of new issues (newer kernel version?). We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
*Patch review is now using two branches:
*The final kirkstone build has taken place and we’re no longer planning to merge patches on this branch.
**“master-review”  - patches which pass on the autobuilder and will be discussed on the patch review call (https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib/log/?h=master-review)
*If you have any final patches for whinlatter, please get these sent to the list ASAP.
**“master-backlog” - patches which have been discussed and need further investigation or more detailed feedback which we haven’t had time for yet (https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib/log/?h=master-backlog)
*Patches are merging but there is a backlog and we’ve had to prioritize simpler changes. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
