'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 M1 was released.
*YP 5.0.18 has been released
*Over the last two weeks there were a number of significant fixes for hash equivalence which should resolve some of the long standing bugs reported here. Some of these fixes may require further architectural tweaks to the codebase but those are cleanups which can happen in due course now the root causes are identified.
*YP 6.0.1 is in QA.
*There are performance issues that remain in hashequivlence but these will be looked at only once the correctness issues and intermittent test failures are addressed.
*YP 6.1 M1 is due to build this week
*There are some puzzling selftest failures that remain, in particular a locked signatures one which seems to be caused through bad interaction with the hash equivalence code but is intermittent and does not make sense.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
*The patch queue for master should be roughly up to date which some key changes such as the gettext upgrade having merged recently. Some pending changes like the glibc upgrade look problematic.
*Patches to remove shell=True subprocess usage have merged in bitbake but OE-Core still needs significant work, help would be welcome with this.
*A key functionality change has merged this week where the layout of the sstate directory has changed. This was done to try and improve performance and handle some performance issues where the previous code simply wasn’t scaling. There is no user visible impact but it does mean new sstate will be generated into a new layout and the older sstate will be ignored. The sstate filename length issues should also be addressed by this patchset.
*We have merged support for `devtool upgrade --stable` and the upstream-stable-release-point bbclass. We hope to use this to track upstream projects with known good stable release series, but we need input and discussion on what the criteria should be. Please participate in the discussion on the OE-Architecture list: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119437109
*Whilst the SWAT process is disbanded, the effect of this is that Richard now has to file the bugs personally. This distracts from other things that could be worked on.
*We have changed the xz and zstd decompression dependencies to make the build slightly more efficient and use the host tools for decompression
*The triage team is worried about attendance at triage meetings and the project is finding it hard to find people to help fix bugs. If anyone is willing to work on bugs, assistance would be greatly appreciated.
*Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic and unchanged from last week:
*The TSC is working on LTS plans, productive discussions have been had and a new policy on handling this and stable releases should be available in the coming weeks.
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
*We are continuing to collect ideas for YP 3.1 in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UKZIGe88-eq3-pOPtkAvFAegbQDzhy_f4ye64yjnABc/edit?usp=sharing
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
**groff build race issues
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*We would like to know what people are planning to work on for Yocto Project 6.1 and beyond. We have a roadmap document in Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12xgAzSjDj5zVlo4eQIbiv1s3QMjtBTCvBFY3_T7OPto

*YP 3.1 M1 is in QA
*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 3.1 M1 release date 12/13/2019
*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/
*YP 3.1 M2 build date 1/20/2020
*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 3.1 M2 release date 1/31/2020
