'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.2.4 and YP 4.3.1 were released
*RP is on holiday this week so should not be working
*YP 4.3.1 carries a release note about the intermittent failures that are causing problems for the builds, we’re lacking capacity to address several of them.
*YP 5.2.3 is being reviewed for release.
*YP 3.1.30 rc2 is in QA
*YP 5.0.12 is in QA
*The YP 5.0 M1 build is still pending, we’re hoping for several intermittent issue fixes first
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build shortly (and is feature freeze)
*The intermittent issues on the autobuilder are causing problems for master branch development and stable releases and this is slowing down patch testing and merging. We simply don't have enough people to fix the issues quickly enough and the people we do have are struggling. This is now slowly down point release approvals too as a knock on effect.
*Linux 6.16 has been integrated but is currently not the default
*We plan to disable the rust selftest code in the hope this allows us to upgrade the version since we’re rapidly falling behind. The upgrades also break zvariant and the limited reproducibility testing we had working unfortunately.
*Patches continue to merge into master for upgrades and fixes until M3 is built
*Several important fixes for useradd functionality have merged.
*The main mirroring issues left are around “downloadfilename” support in urls which likely needs to be rewritten.
*Patches for python-maturin support have been proposed but there are challenges with reproducibility currently hindering merging.
*A new version of bitbake-setup is in master-next and is making huge progress in readiness, thanks Alexander Kanavin!
*Regarding bugs, even if you can’t fix a bug, submitting a failing test case that can reproduce the issue significantly improves the chances it might get fixed.
*The Embedded Linux Conference was a success, with lots of Yocto-related talks being full to capacity. The OpenEmbedded and Yocto Project mini conferences were well attended and very interesting. Thanks to everyone who attended and made it a great event!

*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 5.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs

*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.
