'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We are now at feature freeze for 4.1 but M3 has not been built yet.
*YP 5.0.13 was released
*Many of the blocking issues for M3 have been resolved including:
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to be released
**perl build hangs
*YP 4.0.31 is in QA
**cve-check database issues
*Documentation updates related to many of the recent changes are in progress, thanks to all who have helped on these.
**hash-equiv file not found issues on local domain sockets
*We plan to merge the documentation changes then stop updating the poky repository master branch.
**layer setup changes merged
*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:
**rust upgrade merged
**check-layer tests are now running under nodistro instead of poky, so some layers are failing as they assume some DISTRO_FEATURES are enabled.
**libgcrypt ptest issues on ARM is potentially fixed
**Toaster is broken with bitbake-setup (#16012). Help moving to supporting non-poky layouts would be good if anyone is using Toaster.
**llvm build path corruption in mesa was resolved
**The patch/cve metrics jobs need reviewing to be sure they’re correct with bitbake-setup (#16013)
**rust ppc patch was revised
**The build performance jobs don’t know that poky and oe-core are the same so the charts are currently wrong (#16014)
**llvm-config handling in core was reworked
**Help welcomed to resolve these issues!
**nativesdk-gcc issue breaking rust SDK tests was identified and fixed
*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.
**a checksum mismatch race issue in bitbake’s fetcher code was fixed
*YP 6.0 (wrynose) and the next LTS releases proposed timeline: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BlvtPxpYsxHkeL10DFBQzBI9q_1HIk9r2FPxlfsQ95U/edit?tab=t.0
*Thanks to everyone who helped work on and resolve these, it will significantly improve the release and autobuilder stability during testing.
*There are likely going to be breaking changes to the npm fetcher related to ongoing security concerns.
*There is still an issue with rust SDK failures on ubuntu1804 to resolve before M3 can build
*The rust selftest changes are looking unlikely to merge as they don’t pass during testing yet and one of the precursor patches causes buildpath issues. Some precursor patches did merge.
*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

*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 4.1 See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.1_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.
