*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.
*Our plan is to build M4 within the next week unless significant problems become known as we’re not aware of anyone working on any major fixes which would delay it.
*There is also a discussion about recipe specific hosttools: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2467
*If there are release blocking issues, please report ASAP.
*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 made progress on the build architecture reproducibility issues, thanks in particular to Alejandro and Sunil and team at Windriver for getting the major rust issues resolved. There are around 30 issues left as shown by the *autobuilder tests (down from ~90) so great progress.
*The project has adopted an updated policy on AI-generated contributions: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/ai-assisted-contribution-policy.html
*python3-six recipe moved to meta-oe, it provides python 2.x era support so nothing should be needing that now - references are a sign that dependencies probably need updating but it is still available if needed.
*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 issues which are in a position where others could now help:
*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:
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
**go recipes are not devtool upgradeable (#14944)
**aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue - thanks for the work and fixes so far on this.
**recipetool create should add tag= for git SRC_URI (#15816)
**See Richard’s email on the list https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/topic/areas_we_could_do_with/121159956 which details some others too
*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
**6.0.5:    2026-11-30
**5.0.22:  2026-12-07
**6.2 M1:  2026-12-14
