'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*M3 has now closed and we’re at feature freeze for 3.2.
*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
*There are a number of patches we need for 3.2 which are still being sorted out and M3 will build once that has happened.
*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.
*Bitbake server startup has been changed to avoid the issues previously discovered. There are some issues with traceback handling/reporting during early init which are being resolved as a result of that and those have open bugs.
*There is also a discussion about recipe specific hosttools: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2467
*The server changes have improved memory resident bitbake but some issues with state tracking still remain so memory resident bitbake will not be the default until 3.3, assuming we can debug those remaining problems by early in 3.3.
*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.
*There has been work in enabling PRServ to work well with hash equivalence, thanks to Mark for sorting out this long standing work item. We aim to have this in 3.2 but some tests need fixing before it can completely merge.
*The project has adopted an updated policy on AI-generated contributions: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/ai-assisted-contribution-policy.html
*We will process one last round of recipe upgrades before we build M3.
*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
*We were finally able to change the fcommon gcc defaults back to standard, thanks to all who helped make that happen.
*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:
*The number of autobuilder intermittent bugs has continued to rise unfortunately.
**go recipes are not devtool upgradeable (#14944)
*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
**recipetool create should add tag= for git SRC_URI (#15816)
*Help with any of these would be much appreciated, unfortunately it is proving hard to find anyone interested in helping figure these out and they significantly hamper our testing.
*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.
*One way to help the project is to help us with bugs that are currently unassigned but ideally needed during YP 3.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.2_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
**6.1.1:    2026-11-23
*Globbing support in file:// urls has been removed.
**6.0.5:   2026-11-30
**5.0.22:  2026-12-07
**6.2 M1:  2026-12-14


'''YP 3.2 Milestone Dates:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 3.2 M3 build date 2020/8/31
*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=---
*YP 3.2 M3 Release date 2020/9/11
*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/
*YP 3.2 M4 build date 2020/10/5
*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.
*YP 3.2 M4 Release date 2020/10/30
