'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1.9 has been through QA and is awaiting release approval, no blocking issues were identified.
*YP 5.3.3 was released.
*YP 3.4 M1 was released.
*YP 5.0.17 is in QA
*Significantly for the project, we have now identified a kernel hang caused from RCU stalls which has been plaguing our autobuilder testing for months. The issue is still open in upstream mainline kernels but there is a patch queued in the rcu tree for it. Since applying this patch to linux-yocto, our builds have been noticeably greener and more stable. We have closed out many of the related AB-INT bugs and will be creating new ones for any remaining issues as they occur since it is hard to tell some other bugs apart from the RCU issue.
*YP 6.0 M3 is the feature freeze for 6.0 which is our next LTS.
*The prserv rewrite to use asyncio is stuck on autobuilder hangs when testing at larger scale. We’d welcome help from anyone with more details asyncio knowledge/experience as it is looking like the new code isn’t entirely stable in python 3.5/3.6 and may have “at exit” issues, as well as perhaps issues mixing async io code on the client side with multiprocessing during parsing.
*YP 6.0 M3 is now due to build however there are still key changes missing.  
*There does still seem to be an arm specific LTP hang reading /proc/kmsg now tracked by bug 14460.
*Issues with pending work needed:
*The multiconfig changes in bitbake continue to cause problems, we still need simpler test cases to reproduce issues rather than huge builds. The existing patches seem to fix some workloads and break others. Richard is trying to fix but trying to fix autobuilder issues and other problems and these are slow builds to debug.
**Converting scripts/run-cvecheck to sbom-cve-check
*Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur, about 50% of the open issues are now ptest failures and the rest are various other races or timeouts. 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
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
**Failure to generate regression reports in release builds (need tags)
**Ubuntu 26.04 support (need worker adding for testing)
*Issues that have patches ready to merge:
**DISTRO_FEATURES defaults improvements.
**Fixing yocto-check-layer to work with --machines
**RHEL 9 xattrs/selinux/tar issue
**Splitting wic into an external tool.
**RHEL 10/openSUSE Leap 16.0 support
*Issues that need investigation
**Reports of pseudo errors on Fedora 44 beta
*The proposed wic changes will need wic support files to be placed in files/wic within layers going forwards.
*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.
*We are aware of our git hosting giving 502 Bad Gateway errors, this is being investigated
*The CFP for the Yocto Project Workshop at Embedded Recipes 2026 closes today: https://pretalx.com/yocto-embedded-recipes-2026/cfp

*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*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 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 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/
*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.
*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.
