'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.19 is ready for release.
*YP 5.2 M3 and YP 5.0.8 were released
*YP 5.1 M1 is ready for release.
*YP 5.1.4 is due for release
*Patch status tags are now checked for by default. Layers which don't wish this can disable the error by removing patch-status from ERROR_QA.
*Our first release candidate for YP 5.2 is ready for QA
*Fedora 40 support should be almost complete. GCC 14 is the gift that keeps on giving, the last issue I'm aware of is in 'expect' and there are now two competing patches for that.
*The walnascar branches have diverged from master
*Some larger patches are on the list and help reviewing these would be appreciated:
*qemumips, qemumips64 and qemuppc have been dropped from automated testing for walnascar and master onwards. Older releases will continue to have the testing they were released with.
**Adding SPDX 3.0 from Joshua
*Some other autobuilder test targets were also tweaked to match current needs (e.g. fewer oe-selftest runs).
**Improved CVE tooling from Marta
*Some disk usage improvements for rust were merged or queued for merge to help with overall build performance.
**bitbake-setup and configuration fragments from Alexander
*A pseudo bug was identified and there is a reproduction patch posted however we’re struggling to work out how to fix it.
*We had some fixes for the install-buildtools script which showed a lack of automated testing for it. Adding some would be an interesting first contribution if anyone is interested.
*We are aware of 500/502 errors from the project git servers. These are caused by load from the significant number of AI crawlers the infrastructure is being overloaded with which is hard to mitigate against. The cgit interface has been temporarily disabled at times of high load to help ensure clones work.
*There is an open letter the project has created related to the CVE/NVD situation, more information is available here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1990
**Please consider signing this to show support for those changes.
**Signatures from small businesses/consultancies are as welcome as those from larger organizations as we want to demonstrate the breadth of the need for these changes.
*We continue to have trouble tracking down the rust reproducibility problem in rustdoc.
*Through post release upgrading our patch count reduced again and is now the lowest level since July 2008!

*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 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

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.
