'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.0.4 is due to be released
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) is out of QA, the final work item is updating the documentation. Help to write and review release notes and migration guides is greatly appreciated.
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*The situation with Fedora 41 and python 3.13 has improved. There are several bitbake fixes needed and one one for pseudo the posix_spawn function.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*The bb.exceptions module could use some attention from someone with appropriate python knowledge (it makes tracebacks pickleable).
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*CVE emails are now reporting correctly again, thanks Steve.
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
*We can now compare the performance of the new autobuilder perf builds:
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
**https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20241007-108/testresults/buildperf-alma8/perf-alma8_master_20241007210052_312488228a.html
*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.
**https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20241008-2/testresults/buildperf-alma8/perf-alma8-vk_master_20241008030040_312488228a.html
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*The performance workers are about twice the speed (but the performance workers were not normal worker nodes on the old system). rm_work adds about a minute to build times on a modern SSD system.
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
*Migration to the new autobuilder is proceeding with regular users now encouraged to trigger builds on the new cluster to stress test and identify any issues.
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
*We are having problems with the toaster tests failing after layer index updates for styhead. If anyone has knowledge of selenium CSS selectors we’d appreciate assistance!
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026 (full details pending)
*For 5.2 it would be helpful to have rough development plans for areas of the project if anyone is able to help document a rough roadmap/plan for them. The following areas are known to be being or need working on:
**Autobuilder
**Binary Distro
**Bitbake config fragments
**Bitbake setup process/tooling
**GUI screen shot QA test
**IDE Plugin development
**Layer Index
**Patchtest
**Security Tooling
**Swatbot
**Toaster
*If there are other areas we should have plans for, please let us know.

*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
