'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*The next release, kirkstone will be 4.0 (previously known as 3.5) and will be bitbake 2.0 based.
*YP 5.0.17 was released
*The first release candidate build for YP 4.0 (3.5) is in QA but has at least one issue which will mean we need a second release candidate build. We will build that after the final QA report is back.
*YP 6.0 M3 was released
*YP 3.3.6, the final hardknott release will build after 4.0 rc2.
*YP 4.0.35 is in QA
*There are several issues which have arisen in the last week which mean we will need a second release candidate build:
*YP 6.0 M4 is due to build
**edgerouter didn’t boot with rc1 due to a kernel patch issue
*We continue to triage the CVEs being reported by the new tooling.
**uninative didn’t work with libstdc++ from gcc 12 so we have an upgraded version
*Various fixes have merged or are planned to merge before the M4 release build:
**there were several CVE fixes that came in (libarchive, gzip, xz)
**Various CVE issue resolutions from CVE triage
**a key intermittent autobuilder fix was identified. <br/>
**Reproducibility issues with strace/apr-util
Not all of these were release blockers but together they mean an rc2 is appropriate.
**Make race in groff
*If anyone is aware of other issues in rc1 that need to be addressed in rc2, please let us know ASAP.
**Shadow-native tallylog issue fix
*YP 4.1 planning document is available for review at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-g7DatSdmIETwD3xFSCxV7MbWVVkpQvQ788mIr1MPTI/edit?usp=sharing
**Upgrade of barebox to align with an LTS release
*If people see intermittent issues in their own builds, particularly if they’re the same as intermittent issues seen on the autobuilder, please do comment in the bugs mentioning when they happen as the frequency information does help us prioritize fixing the most common issues.
**Implementation of a wrapper for openat2, fixing Fedora 44 beta build failures
*Intermittent issues continue to be at high levels and help is very much welcome in trying to resolve them. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT We did work out the cause of the infamous tinfoil wait_event intermittent issue.
**Sbom-cve-check upgrade (along with dependencies)
*Issues still pending:
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
**Intermittent qemu boot failures of qemuarmv5 (and possibly qemuarm) since the last kernel upgrade
**Intermittent wic failures on the autobuilder
*At this point we will likely run the release build as the remaining issues aren’t critical to end users and we have no clear timeframe for resolution of them
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’re working through the backlog of patches and intermittent build failures are 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 final whinlatter build is happening this week.

'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*We have several open issues for pseudo and limited maintainer time to work on them. Help from someone familiar with systems programming in C would be greatly appreciated. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=661406&priority=High&priority=Medium%2B&product=Pseudo&query_format=advanced&resolution=---
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.5. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.5_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*There are a large number of intermittent failures on our autobuilder, any help with investigating, reproducing or solving these issues would be welcome! https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/
*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.
*Many recipes in openembedded-core would benefit from a new recipe maintainer. Please look at https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and see if you can adopt any of the unassigned recipes.
