'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.5 M3 has been released.
*YP 5.3.3 was released.
*YP 3.1.15 is now in QA
*YP 5.0.17 is in QA
*There are patches proposed to move python3-cryptography to OE-Core from meta-oe/meta-python. It is late in the cycle but the current location is causing issues for several layers and it appears to be the right thing to do before kirkstone is released.
*YP 6.0 M3 is the feature freeze for 6.0 which is our next LTS.
*There is a proposal to switch from pip to installer to handle installation of python modules. With some development, the path becomes clear in hindsight and this is another change where it seems to make sense to do it now.
*YP 6.0 M3 is now due to build however there are still key changes missing.  
*Other than the above, we should be seeing the recent python changes settling down.
*Issues with pending work needed:
*There were some tweaks to the tasks display in knotty merged.
**Converting scripts/run-cvecheck to sbom-cve-check
*We took an upgrade to mesa 22 which drops dri1 support on the basis it stands the release in a better long term position.
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
*We have continued to take other minimal impact upgrades and this is having a positive impact on CVE numbers.
**Failure to generate regression reports in release builds (need tags)
*Toaster has seen a number of fixes recently and should be in a stronger position for release with a move to an LTS django version, thanks Tim and David.
**Ubuntu 26.04 support (need worker adding for testing)
*Help in completing the migration documentation would be much appreciated.
*Issues that have patches ready to merge:
*If people see intermittent issues in their own builds, particularly if they’re the same as intermittent issues seen on the autobuilder, please do comment in the bugs mentioning when they happen as the frequency information does help us prioritize fixing the most common issues.
**DISTRO_FEATURES defaults improvements.
*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
**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 3.5. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.5_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.
