'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.0.19 has been 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 6.1 M2 is out of QA and 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.
*Progress has been made with some of the AB-INT issues:
*There is also a discussion about recipe specific hosttools: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2467
**We identified a kernel issue likely causing the arm psplash boot hangs
*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.
**The groff race issues were reported upstream and we have that section of the build disabled for groff-native now to avoid them
*The project has adopted an updated policy on AI-generated contributions: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/ai-assisted-contribution-policy.html
**Several pseudo issues were patched in a recent update
*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
**One infrastructure issue on a worker was corrected
*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:
*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:
**go recipes are not devtool upgradeable (#14944)
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
**recipetool create should add tag= for git SRC_URI (#15816)
**aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
*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.
    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.
**6.1.1:   2026-11-23
*Some invasive LICENSE changes have merged into master:
**6.0.5:    2026-11-30
**We now require the LICENSE field to match SPDX identifiers.  
**5.0.22:  2026-12-07
**The build will issue warnings when this isn’t the case.
**6.2 M1:   2026-12-14
**Non SPDX licenses will need to be of the form LicenseRef-XXX
**CLOSED is no longer a valid value.
**‘WITH’ license exceptions are now supported
Big thanks to Joshua for getting us to the point where we can finally clean this up!
*Patches generated by the automatic upgrade helper (AUH) now include changelogs where these can be extracted from upstream. Initial results are good, some manual tweaking of commit messages may be needed, feedback is welcome to improve the automation.
*We continue to work on the backlog of patches which has slightly reduced.
*Fixes merged to handle ptest reports for both glibc and musl in resulttool and whilst this improves the main reports, it does cause noise in the regression reports due to poor comparison baselines.
*Remaining intermittent build failures  of concern:
**other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
