'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.4.4 released
*YP 5.3 M3 is in QA
*YP 4.0.1 was built and is in QA
*YP 5.0.13 is under review for release
*We’re coming up to 4.1 M1 at the end of the month which is a good point to aim for early testing of changes in the next release.
*Documentation updates related to many of the recent changes are in progress, thanks to all who have helped on these.
*There are some prototype scripts updating patchwork patch status for OpenEmbedded-Core and BitBake which is covering about 75% of the patches to the merged state along with revision information: https://patchwork.yoctoproject.org/project/oe-core/list/ We’re hoping to extend this to other status information such as in master-next for testing but it is a work in progress. Let us know if you find this useful. With some manual work to clear the backlog of patches we could aim to keep it more up to date (there is an archive status we could use for that too).
*We have now past feature freeze for YP 5.3. To be accepted, patches that have a high bar until after we branch master from whinlatter. Known issues:
*We have added a new “metrics” target on the autobuilder. This currently has some simple patch status tracking information and can generate a history graph but the hope is to extend this to CVE metrics and likely other things. If anyone has interest in helping here, please let Richard know.
**check-layer tests are now running under nodistro instead of poky, so some layers are failing as they assume some DISTRO_FEATURES are enabled.
*Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent issues. 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
**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. We are evaluating the situation with 6.17, feedback on it (for/against and known issues) would be welcome.
*“poky” as a combo-layer repository will soon no longer be needed or updated for master and whinlatter branches.
*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.
