'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 2.4.4 (Rocko) is out of QA and being reviewed. It should release in the next few days.  See the QA Report: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW46_-_2018-11-14_-_Full_Test_Cycle_2.4.4_RC1 and the Release Criteria: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Project_v2.4_Status#Yocto_Project_2.4.4_release
*YP 4.0.35 is due to release
*The autobuilder was significantly reworked during the quiet period of the US holidays. There was a separate email sent out about the details of this:
*YP 5.3.4 is in QA
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2018-November/276436.html
*YP 6.0 rc1 is in QA
*As part of those changes, all builds with the appropriate code (currently master+thud) now publish xml results files containing all the results of the automated testing. We now need tooling to better analyse and process these results into human readable summaries (especially for ptest) and to highlight regressions.
*There will be no patch review on Monday 4th May due to public holidays.
*We’d like to recognise Joshua Watt for some great work in automating SDK tests on meta-mingw. This is now active on the autobuilder for master testing 64 bit mingw builds.
*We continue to triage the CVEs being reported by the new tooling.
*These changes also mean we now can test oe-selftest on all the distros we officially test upon. Unfortunately that has the side effect of highlighting how unstable oe-selftest has become. We’re in need to help to try and solve some of these issues. A separate email was sent out on this topic:
*There were some last minute changes to DISTRO_FEATURES behaviour to resolve some usability issues that users identified.
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2018-November/276497.html
*There have been several issues in pseudo identified and these have been fixed in the various pseudo point releases. We will upgrade pseudo in 6.0.1 to pull these in.
*Until the stability issues are resolved it will likely impact patch merging and divert attention away from other patches such as the sstate hash equivalence and perl/python version upgrades.
*There have been issues with 403 errors from crates.io, there is a change in bitbake to use the preferred upstream urls via their CDN.
*The kvm cpu features issue looks to be a host system CPU microcode issue and using the latest microcode appears to have resolved the issues.
*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 but are trying to clear the backlog.


'''Planned Releases for YP 2.6:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7 M1 Cutoff is Dec. 10, 2018
*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=---
*YP 2.7 M1 Release Target is Dec. 21, 2018

*YP 2.7 M2 Cutoff is Jan. 21, 2019
*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.
*YP 2.7 M2 Release Target is Feb. 1, 2019
