'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.2 M1 and YP 4.0.6 were released.
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*Builds on the autobuilder are problematic at present due to connection losses with the controller machine. We understand the cause and will be migrating the controller to a new server/location in the next maintenance window to address this.
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*A number of invasive bitbake changes have merged including a change to add threading to bitbake’s server/cooker. This will allow us to attempt to resolve various UI/server hang related open bugs and to improve the user experience, e.g. Ctrl+C handling. If people do see issues with hangs, please report them and include the tail end of the bitbake-cookerdaemon.log file.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*The bitbake cache changes to optionally include more hash debugging information did merge. This currently triggers only for the bitbake -S operations but once that mode is triggered for memory resident bitbake, it is “sticky” and will remain set until it unloads. We have seen some OOM issues on autobuilder workers which may be related to this, more debugging is needed to check on bitbake’s memory usage.
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*Automatic bitbake function library dependency code has also merged and is active. This should let us migrate class code to become library code for performance improvements.
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
*A bug in the layer.conf variable changes was identified which was causing re-parsing when it wasn’t necessary. A fix has been merged to address that.
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
*The OE TSC decided in favour of adding export flag expansion despite the performance impact so that patch will be queued.
*This change will mean “poky” as a combo-layer repository will no longer be needed or updated. This means autobuilder changes before we build 5.3 M3.
*We merged a number of neat rust improvements which add on target cargo support and added automated QA tests for this functionality so we can ensure it continues to work and doesn’t regress. Thanks Alex Kiernan, we hope to see more series like this one!
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*CVE levels in master have improved but still need a little work
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
*The autobuilder maintenance window is moving from Friday to Monday.
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026 (full details pending)

*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: patchtest, layerindex, 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 identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*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 that are currently unassigned for YP 4.2 See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.2_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs

*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.
