'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.0 M2 and YP 3.1.31 were released.
*RP is on holiday this week so should not be working
*YP 4.0.16 is due to be released.
*YP 5.2.3 is being reviewed for release.
*We are now two weeks to feature freeze for 5.0, our next release
*YP 5.0.12 is in QA
*There is a proposal on the openembedded-architecture list for a “setup tool” for layers and configuration: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1913
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build shortly (and is feature freeze)
*There is a new proposal to drop support for BBFILE_PRIORITY: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1918
*Linux 6.16 has been integrated but is currently not the default
*Whilst late in the cycle for this, the benefits appear compelling.
*Patches continue to merge into master for upgrades and fixes until M3 is built
*Patch testing, review and merging is proving tricky at the moment as many patches are having poor interactions with other recipes, or corner case bugs (e.g. glibc mips issues).
*The main mirroring issues left are around “downloadfilename” support in urls which likely needs to be rewritten.
*There were many recipe upgrades merged including glibc and binutils, key fixes to pseudo, rpm issues root caused, ltp tests upgraded and expanded and arm tune file additions.
*A new version of bitbake-setup is in master-next and is making huge progress in readiness, thanks Alexander Kanavin!
*There have been questions about official RISC-V support in this next release, especially since it is an LTS. There is the potential to do this since the configurations have been written and are close to working. We’re wondering about trial testing this for M3 as a proof of concept. Without higher tier project membership support, this will not make it into the LTS final release though.
*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 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.
