'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.33 is due for release
*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 5.0.16 is in QA
*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 5.2.3 is queued for QA
*There is also a discussion about recipe specific hosttools: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2467
*YP 6.0 M2 is due to build when we have patches merged
*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.
*We have two open high issues which need further work that will block M3:
*The project has adopted an updated policy on AI-generated contributions: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/ai-assisted-contribution-policy.html
**x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (cpu features issue?) (#16074)
*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
**AB-INT: opkg-build segmentation fault (memory corruption in pseudo?) (#16078)
*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:
*We also have issues we need to resolve before release:
**go recipes are not devtool upgradeable (#14944)
**Allowing non-destructive git fetcher updates for bitbake-setup
**recipetool create should add tag= for git SRC_URI (#15816)
**Splitting wic into an external tool
*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.
**Kernel rust support
**6.1.1:    2026-11-23
**Switching to pkg-config
**6.0.5:    2026-11-30
**Deprecation of ltp (upstream dropped runltp and mandate kirk)
**5.0.22:  2026-12-07
**How to improve DEBUG_BUILD?
**6.2 M1:  2026-12-14
**DISTRO_FEATURES changes to ‘nodistro’ in OE-Core
**SBOM/cve-check changes
*We updated “nodistro” to use 3 of the include files poky was already using:
**Space optimization to reduce build footprint and sstate object size
**Disabling most static libraries by default (build size/speed wins)
**Enabling security flags by default
*“nodistro” now also enables uninative by default to allow for better CDN sstate reuse
*Distros now need to use INIT_MANAGER to select their preferred init system with the default being systemd for “nodistro”. Poky’s defaults remain unchanged and we don’t have plans to change this at this time due to the work involved and impact (e.g test result comparisons).
*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.
*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.
