'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We are now at feature freeze for 5.0, preparing to build M3
*YP 5.3.1 was released
*YP 4.3.3 passed QA and is in review pending release
*YP 6.0 M1 was released
*The changes which we’d still like to see in 5.0 that have not merged yet are:
*YP 4.0.33 is in QA
**genericarm64 machine (there is a draft and it is close)
*YP 6.0 M2 is due to build next week.
**QA screenshot comparison
*There are currently 5 high open bugs, which will block M2. Three have line of sight to being resolved:
**sstate permissions issue testcase
**Issues reusing binaries from fedora 42/43 on older systems (#16087)
*Several changes have merged for M3:
**rust do_test_compile/do_install segfault (#16058)
**ncurses based task dependency explorer (thanks David!)
**Generation of releases.json needs updating (#16138)
**change to rust test suite logging
*Two are currently needing further work:  
**useradd fix
**x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (#16074)
**dbus configuration security fix
**AB-INT: opkg-build segmentation fault (#16078)
**bitbake hashserve improvements to better position future server capability/functionality
*We are about to drop the 6.12 and 6.16 kernel recipes leaving just 6.18 for the next release
**tweaks to support recipe locale support
*The number of intermittent failures affecting builds, both stable and development, continues to be problematic - we continue to prioritise addressing these since any given build is now statistically likely to hit one or more of them.
**support for BB_LOADFACTOR_MAX load regulation in bitbake when psi is unavailable.
*Patch review is now using two branches:
**further IDE integration tweaks and improvements
**“master-review”  - patches which pass on the autobuilder and will be discussed on the patch review call (https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib/log/?h=master-review)
*There are also several concerning issues without any clear resolution path at present:
**“master-backlog” - patches which have been discussed and need further investigation or more detailed feedback which we haven’t had time for yet (https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib/log/?h=master-backlog)
**rust upgrade blocked by reproducibility issues
*Patches are merging but there is a backlog and we’ve had to prioritize simpler changes. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
**musl upgrade blocked by large number of unsubmitted pending patches
 
**nativesdk-systemd usage broken by usrmerge requirement (we can’t changing the SDK layout now)
**go isn't upgraded (although there now are partial patches)
*There have been questions about official RISC-V support in this next release, especially since it is an LTS. We will trial qemuriscv64 support in M3 but remove it before the final LTS release as there is no sponsor for that support.


'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*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!
*We have several open issues for pseudo and limited maintainer time to work on them. Help from someone familiar with systems programming in C would be greatly appreciated. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=661406&priority=High&priority=Medium%2B&product=Pseudo&query_format=advanced&resolution=---
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*There are a large number of intermittent failures on our autobuilder, any help with investigating, reproducing or solving these issues would be welcome! https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/
*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
*Many recipes in openembedded-core would benefit from a new recipe maintainer. Please look at https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and see if you can adopt any of the unassigned recipes.
*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.
*For more ways to contribute, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oxKWxLorfF813h82mK6yKTIHeBp_-9owFuCWbzgjOk/edit?usp=sharing
*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.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
