'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.3 M3 has been built and is now in QA.
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*We were able to track down the parsing performance regressions and patches in master have addressed those (thanks Peter).
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*We have merged REQUIRED_VERSION support to bitbake which works in a similar way to PREFERRED_VERSION but is a mandatory directive rather than optional.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*Reproducibility has improved again with ltp fixed, perf fixed and fixes pending for meson and ovmf. This leaves ruby-docs and the Go Language issues, https://www.yoctoproject.org/reproducible-build-results/
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*qemuppc64 and qemuriscv32 machines were added. These are not officially supported/tested but have been added to oe-core to allow development to focus around them rather than happening ad hoc externally. For official support of these platforms there would need to be some funding for the autobuilder resources needed through project members sponsoring that work.
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
*A new Azure Storage fetcher was added to bitbake.
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
*“Pending” state patch review is still needed, we have some really old stale ones which really need decisions to be made about their future. It would help a lot if recipe maintainers could review recipe patchsets and upstream them or remove them if they are no longer relevant.
*This change will mean “poky” as a combo-layer repository will no longer be needed or updated. This means autobuilder changes before we build 5.3 M3.
*Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur and are now at a record high level. 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 We are working to identify the load pattern on the infrastructure that seems to trigger these. We have seen a sharp rise in numbers of issues with the new more rigorous swat process.
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026 (full details pending)

*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*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!
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*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

*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
*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.

*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*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.
