'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.33 has been released
*YP 5.0.17 is due to be released
*YP 5.0.16 is in TSC review
*YP 6.0 M3 is in QA
*YP 6.0 M2, 5.3.2, & 4.0.34 are in QA.
*YP 4.0.35 is queued for QA
**We are aware of changes in QA timelines and are discussing how to address them.
*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.
*We have issues which need further work that will block M3:  
*Issues with pending work needed:
**x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
**AB-INT: opkg-build segmentation fault (memory corruption in pseudo?) (#16078)
**Reports of pseudo errors on Fedora 44 beta related to openat2()
**Failure to generate regression reports in release builds
**Intermittent qemu boot failures of qemuarmv5 (and possibly qemuarm) since the last kernel upgrade
*We also have issues we need to resolve before release:
**Meta-oe cve layer filtering under new tooling (metrics script tweak?)
**Allowing non-destructive git fetcher updates for bitbake-setup.
**Reprodicubility issues with strace/apr-util after gnulib macro changes (patches in testing)
**Splitting wic into an external tool.
*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.
**Kernel rust support.
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.
**Switching to pkg-config.
*The recent wic changes will need wic support files to be placed in files/wic within layers going forwards.
**Deprecation of ltp (upstream dropped runltp and mandate kirk)
*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.
**How to improve DEBUG_BUILD?
*The final kirkstone build has taken place and we’re no longer planning to merge patches on this branch.
**DISTRO_FEATURES defaults improvements.
*If you have any final patches for whinlatter, please get these sent to the list ASAP.
**SBOM/cve-check changes.
**Reconcile poky and OE-Core defaults templates.
*OE-Core switched to enabling a hash equivalence server by default.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and the high number of intermittent build failures is still problematic. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
*The project has a booth at Embedded World next week, feel free to come and say Hi if you’re there!
