*YP 5.0.17 is due to be released
* YP 5.0.20 is under review.
*YP 6.0 M3 is in QA
* YP 6.1 M3 is due to build and we are at feature freeze
*YP 4.0.35 is queued for QA
* There are issues with changes in bot/AI protection at github.com which are affecting our CI.  
*We have converted over to sbom-cve-check and dropped cve-check. This has caused a significant increase in CVEs reported, these are being triaged.
* Most M3 changes have merged, we want to mitigate the github issues before building M3.
*Issues with pending work needed:
* There is a new meta-openjdk layer: https://github.com/amarula/meta-openjdk https://lore.kernel.org/yocto-patches/xBB4.1788187111192557019.ULaN@lists.yoctoproject.org/T/#u
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
* AI scrapers and bots continue to impact the infrastructure, taking huge amounts of time for our sysadmins and with a significant cost impact to the project.
**Reports of pseudo errors on Fedora 44 beta related to openat2()
* There are two AB-INT issues which are in a position where others could now help, as detailed in https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/242105:
**Intermittent qemu boot failures of qemuarmv5 (and possibly qemuarm) since the last kernel upgrade
** Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
**Meta-oe cve layer filtering under new tooling (metrics script tweak?)
** aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
**Reprodicubility issues with strace/apr-util after gnulib macro changes (patches in testing)
We get a lot of comments about these being hard to reproduce or work on, in both cases, these have specific well defined things which need to be done and a basic understanding of what the issue relates to, if not the actual fix.
*There was disruption to git services last week due to scraping attacks against the servers. This resulted in connection issues whilst those were mitigated, particularly the git protocol access.
*Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
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.
**other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
*The recent wic changes will need wic support files to be placed in files/wic within layers going forwards.
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and intermittent build failures are still problematic, including the emergence of new issues (newer kernel version?). We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*The final kirkstone build has taken place and we’re no longer planning to merge patches on this branch.
*Progress was made on some of the risc-v speed differences in qemu which should help some of the autobuilder intermittent failures, thanks Trevor!
*If you have any final patches for whinlatter, please get these sent to the list ASAP.
