'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
* YP 5.0.15 was released
*There is a proposal and proof of concept for changes to layer configuration and setup out for discussion/review: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2463
* YP 5.3.1 is under review
*The proposed layer changes will likely be more invasive than many of the recent changes but also incorporate a number of new features and improvements which will make them useful to everyone and allow various cleanups of existing code.
* YP 6.0 M1 is in QA
*There is also a discussion about recipe specific hosttools: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2467
* YP 4.0.33 is queued for QA after 6.0 M1
*The Yocto Project wiki has undergone significant cleanup, mostly with removal of obsolete pages/information. We plan to migrate the remaining data to a different solution. If anyone is able to help with review of content, please let us know.
* YP 6.0 M2 is due next week!
*The project has adopted an updated policy on AI-generated contributions: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/ai-assisted-contribution-policy.html
* Good progress has been made with the autobuilder issues and an M1 build is in QA but we still don’t have the stability in builds we need for reliable project operations.
*There was a widely reported security issue with musl+openssh. The project has published details on the situation here: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto-security/message/1728
* There are currently 6 high open bugs, which will block M2:
*We had some positive response to our request for help with the issues highlighted from the bug triage team last week. Further help is requested with the following devtool & recipetool issues:
** Issues reusing binaries from fedora 43 (and maybe ubuntu 25.10) on older systems (patchelf triggered?) (#16074, #16087)
**go recipes are not devtool upgradeable (#14944)
** x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (#16074)
**recipetool create should add tag= for git SRC_URI (#15816)
** AB-INT: build-sysroots: useradd command did not succeed (#16135)
*We have moved a couple of planned releases forward by a week to avoid needing to make a release during the end of the year holidays.
** Hangs of the autobuilder controller (database locking?) (#16129)
**6.1.1:    2026-11-23
** Generation of releases.json needs updating (#16138)
**6.0.5:    2026-11-30
* The number of intermittent failures affecting builds, both stable and development, continues to be problematic. Any given build is now statistically likely to hit one or more of them and we often don’t have successful builds. Since we struggle to get help in addressing these, we need to change and start potentially blocking releases (including stable/LTS) until these get addressed in some way. We are holding some dedicated meetings to triage these and find ways of removing the failures from our builds which may include reducing testing.
**5.0.22:  2026-12-07
* Patches are merging again 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.
**6.2 M1:  2026-12-14
