'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 2.6.3 has been released.
*YP 4.0.35 is due to release
*This release which was 2.8 will now become 3.0.
*YP 5.3.4 is in QA
*The sstate hash equivalency continues to have challenges:
*YP 6.0 rc1 is in QA
**performance of the hash server is not able to scale to the autibuilder’s load
*There will be no patch review on Monday 4th May due to public holidays.
**there are some bugs in the code the autobuilder continues to expose
*We continue to triage the CVEs being reported by the new tooling.
**we have cases where its not 100% clear what the correct behaviour should be
*There were some last minute changes to DISTRO_FEATURES behaviour to resolve some usability issues that users identified.
**test cases are proving to be problematic to write in a maintainable way
*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.
*On a more positive note, some of the key performance issues were identified and fixed so performance doesn’t regress for usage without hash equivalence. Several corruption issues and other key fixes to runqueue also merged.
*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.
*Jason Wessel finally tracked down our mystery glibc-locale bug, which was not a pseudo issue. Thanks and kudos to Jason!
*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.
*General patch merging is currently delayed along with patch feedback due to the hash equivalence issues and lack of bandwidth to progress everything at once.
*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 still need to make a decision on systemd or sysvinit defaults as the init system.
*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.
*We are a week away from the 3.0 feature freeze.


'''Planned Releases for YP 3.0 {2.8}:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*M3 Cutoff (Feature Freeze) 25th Aug
*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=---
*M3 Release 6th Sept
*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/
*M4 Cutoff 30th Sept - this will be YP 3.0.
*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 3.0 {2.8 (M4)} Final Release 25th Oct
