'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.0 was built and submitted to QA as 3.0 rc2 (rc1 had build failures).
*YP 4.0.34 was released.
*There is a QA report from QA for 3.0 rc2. There were two issues raised from testing but these are both relatively minor issues that are unlikely to block release.
*YP 5.3.3 is approved for release.
*The release is therefore now pending a decision from the TSC on whether we should release.
*YP 6.0 M3 is the feature freeze for 6.0 which is our next LTS.
*Master has started taking patches for post 3.0 to try and avoid any further backlog buildup.
*YP 6.0 M3 is now due to build however there are still key changes missing.  
*We plan to build 2.7.2, followed by 2.6.4 imminently, Armin has been preparing the branches.
*Issues still pending:
*We have begun collecting ideas for YP 3.1 in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UKZIGe88-eq3-pOPtkAvFAegbQDzhy_f4ye64yjnABc/edit?usp=sharing
**Splitting wic into an external tool.
*If anyone has any status items for the project they’d like to add to the weekly reports, please email Richard+Stephen.
**Converting scripts/run-cvecheck to sbom-cve-check
**DISTRO_FEATURES defaults improvements.
**RHEL 9 xattrs/selinux/tar issue
**How to improve DEBUG_BUILD?
**RHEL 10/openSUSE Leap 16.0/Ubuntu 26.04 support
*Issues that are mostly known quantities still needing work:
**x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
**Failure to generate regression reports in release builds
**Fixing yocto-check-layer to work with --machines (many fixes merged)
*Issues that were resolved this week:
**Sbom-cve-check added
**Replacement of runtlp with kirk (Thanks Daniel!)
**bitbake-setup vscode integration
**Fedora 43 selftest failures
**Reconciling poky and OE-Core defaults templates.
*We have rationalized the tags in various project repositories, more information can be found here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2312 Whilst controversial, this will make the tag list much easier to understand for users, guide users to use the right tags going forward and remove confusion about whether any tags were “missed”, at the expense that some CI setups may need adjusting short term.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and intermittent build failures are still problematic, including the emergence of new issues (newer kernel version?). We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
*The CFP closing date for the Yocto Project Workshop at Embedded Recipes 2026 has been extended until April 7th, please submit a proposal if you’d like to present: https://pretalx.com/yocto-embedded-recipes-2026/cfp


'''Planned Releases for YP 3.0 {2.8}:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 3.0 {2.8 (M4)} Final Release 25th Oct
*We have several open issues for pseudo and limited maintainer time to work on them. Help from someone familiar with systems programming in C would be greatly appreciated. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=661406&priority=High&priority=Medium%2B&product=Pseudo&query_format=advanced&resolution=---
*There are a large number of intermittent failures on our autobuilder, any help with investigating, reproducing or solving these issues would be welcome! https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/
*Many recipes in openembedded-core would benefit from a new recipe maintainer. Please look at https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and see if you can adopt any of the unassigned recipes.
