'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7 M1 is in QA and 100% complete. The final report should publish shortly.  See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.7_QA_Status
*YP 5.0.13 was released
*YP 2.5.2 rc1 in the process of being released. The announcement should come shortly.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to be released
*We realised the toolchain bootstrap process could be simplified with the removal of glibc-initial and gcc-cross-initial. There have been separate emails about this and despite the vacation period, Khem and RP believed them to be ready and good enough to merge. Streamlining this bottleneck in the build has been something we’ve wanted to see for a number of years so its good to get this build time performance boost!
*YP 4.0.31 is in QA
*Some patches have merged over the holiday period, some have been delayed but master-next should be fairly up to date with current patches
*Documentation updates related to many of the recent changes are in progress, thanks to all who have helped on these.
*The occasional issues in oe-selftest are still occurring unfortunately.
*We plan to merge the documentation changes then stop updating the poky repository master branch.
*The perl upgrade continues to be blocked on the fallout from meta-openembedded and the need to make some final tweaks to the patchset.
*We are now past the feature freeze for YP 5.3. To be accepted, patches that have a high bar until after we branch master from whinlatter.  Known issues:
**check-layer tests are now running under nodistro instead of poky, so some layers are failing as they assume some DISTRO_FEATURES are enabled.
**Toaster is broken with bitbake-setup (#16012). Help moving to supporting non-poky layouts would be good if anyone is using Toaster.
**The patch/cve metrics jobs need reviewing to be sure they’re correct with bitbake-setup (#16013)
**The build performance jobs don’t know that poky and oe-core are the same so the charts are currently wrong (#16014)
**Help welcomed to resolve these issues!
*Upstream linux kernel just end-of-life’d 6.16 but whinlatter contains 6.16. The 6.17 kernel has run into issues we don’t have availability/time to resolve unfortunately so we will have to release with 6.16.
*YP 6.0 (wrynose) and the next LTS releases proposed timeline: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BlvtPxpYsxHkeL10DFBQzBI9q_1HIk9r2FPxlfsQ95U/edit?tab=t.0
*There are likely going to be breaking changes to the npm fetcher related to ongoing security concerns.


'''Planned Releases for YP 2.6:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7 M1 Cutoff is in QA.
*As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
*YP 2.7 M1 Release Target is Dec. 21, 2018
*There is an issue open upstream with the openssl project related to making path relocation of openssl easier (as used in our buildtools tarball and SDK). We’d love assistance in moving this forward and getting some kind of upstream feature merged to make this easier: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/19260
*YP 2.7 M2 Cutoff is Jan. 21, 2019
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
*YP 2.7 M2 Release Target is Feb. 1, 2019
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.3_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*YP 2.7 M3 Cutoff is Feb. 25, 2019
*We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
*YP 2.7 M3 Release Target is Mar. 8, 2019
*Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT.
*YP 2.7 M4 Cutoff is Apr. 1, 2019
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*YP 2.7 M4 Release Target is Apr. 26, 2019
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*Ongoing project development plans are being developed in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xsnN_HcaMhqg6Dn1P_19AnumDaUMQSdFZ_I4rjD830A/edit?usp=sharing We need to continue to develop this as it will allow us to potentially find ways to fund specific work items.
