'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.5 M2 has passed QA with one bug highlighted (14708). Due to vacations in Asia the release, if approved, will be made next week.
*YP 5.0.13 was released
*YP 3.1.14 is ready for QA but the release will also be delayed until next week.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to be released
*Upstream glibc are now planning to remove prelink support in 2.36. I think we will still want to remove prelink from OE-Core before our next release though, particularly as it is an LTS.
*YP 4.0.31 is in QA
*An email proposing inclusive language changes for bitbake and OE-Core has been sent to the community for review. The aim is to implement this before M3.
*Documentation updates related to many of the recent changes are in progress, thanks to all who have helped on these.
*We are seeing networking issues during image testing on the centos8/stream8 workers, possibly due to recent changes in the distro. Help with debugging this welcome.
*We plan to merge the documentation changes then stop updating the poky repository master branch.
*We have also realized there is an issue with hash equivalence where the current mechanism will not account for different headers inside the sysroot added through indirect dependencies (e.g. linux-libc-headers via glibc). This means something like rtcwake in util-linux which uses rtc.h can have differing debug symbols due to differing line numbers yet otherwise be identical. There is a potential fix with downsides in master-next.
*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:
*CVE metrics are still under control for master with pending patches accounted for (thanks Ross!) but work still remains on the various stable branches which have high counts.
**check-layer tests are now running under nodistro instead of poky, so some layers are failing as they assume some DISTRO_FEATURES are enabled.
*Intermittent issues continue to be at record high levels and help is very much welcome in trying to resolve them. 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 In particular, we’re struggling to understand the intermittent network issue with external hosts we’re seeing very occasionally.
**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.

*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 3.5. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.5_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 identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
*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.

*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.
