*Patches to remove shell=True subprocess usage have merged in bitbake but OE-Core still needs significant work, help would be welcome with this.
*We have issues we need to resolve before M3:
*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.

**x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
*We have changed the xz and zstd decompression dependencies to make the build slightly more efficient and use the host tools for decompression
**AB-INT: opkg-build segmentation fault (memory corruption in pseudo?) (#16078)
*Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic and unchanged from last week:
**Failure to generate regression reports in release builds
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
**Allowing non-destructive git fetcher updates for bitbake-setup.
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**Splitting wic into an external tool.
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
**Switching to pkg-config.
**groff build race issues
**Deprecation of ltp (upstream dropped runltp and mandate kirk)
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
**How to improve DEBUG_BUILD?
*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
**DISTRO_FEATURES defaults improvements.
**SBOM/cve-check changes.
**Reconcile poky and OE-Core defaults templates.
**Resolve Fedora 43 selftest failures
*glibc was upgraded 2.43 and we released a new uninative to match
*runqemu now has better handling for different display outputs including VNC on unix domain sockets
*We are adding testing of ptests on musl to our test matrix
*Kernel rust support has merged
*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.
*On scarthgap, we have updated to openssl 3.5 since that is still maintained
*Thanks to everyone who helped out with the booth at Embedded World, it was a great success!
