'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.33 is awaiting approval
*YP 5.0.18 has been released
*YP 5.0.16 is in QA
*YP 6.0.1 is in QA.
*YP 6.0 M2 is due to build this week but is blocked by high priority bugs.
*YP 6.1 M1 is due to build this week
*There are currently 5 high open bugs, which will block M2. Three have line of sight to being resolved:
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
**rust do_test_compile/do_install segfault (#16058)
*Patches to remove shell=True subprocess usage have merged in bitbake but OE-Core still needs significant work, help would be welcome with this.
**Generation of releases.json needs updating (#16138)
*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
**AB-INT: do_image_wic: tar command return exit status 2 (#16143)
*We have changed the xz and zstd decompression dependencies to make the build slightly more efficient and use the host tools for decompression
*Two are currently needing further work:
*Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic and unchanged from last week:
**x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (#16074)
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
**AB-INT: opkg-build segmentation fault (#16078)
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
*We removed the bazaar, osc and cvs fetchers since they are obsolete and nobody should be using them
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
*We removed sysvinit compatibility support from systemd images since this will not be supported by upstream during the lifespan of our upcoming LTS release.
**groff build race issues
*We removed legacy tls support from openssl in the interests of providing better secure defaults.
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*The number of intermittent failures affecting builds, both stable and development, continues to be problematic - we continue to prioritise addressing these since any given build is now statistically likely to hit one or more of them.
*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
*Patch review is now using two branches:
**“master-review”  - patches which pass on the autobuilder and will be discussed on the patch review call (https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib/log/?h=master-review)
**“master-backlog” - patches which have been discussed and need further investigation or more detailed feedback which we haven’t had time for yet (https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib/log/?h=master-backlog)
*Patches are merging but there is a backlog and we’ve had to prioritize simpler changes. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
