'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.22 was released
*YP 5.0.14 was released
*The new autobuilder cluster (valkyrie) is up and running and all work is being done there. The old cluster is being shut down.
*YP 5.3 rc4 has passed QA and is under review
*The CDN and mirror tests are now working reliably and we are getting green builds again. Huge thanks to Michael Halstead for the work being done, mostly behind the scenes.
*The 5.3 QA report is available and no major release blocking issues were found so we should be able to finally make the release.
*Progress has been made on many of the blocking intermittent issues on the new autobuilder but many rarer issues remain.
*There was an announcement about the new project roles: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2207
*Rust tests on the MIPS architecture have been disabled as nobody is using/supporting it.
*Welcome to Paul and Yoann in their new roles and huge thanks to Steve!
*Toaster test suite improvements have merged but more work really needs to be done there to improve some of the test conditions.
*Patches for master are merging and the builds are looking greener, there is a problem with the test result regression reports still causing failures as well as some check-layer issues.
*We have a new command line tool to help with the SWAT, thanks to Mathieu for putting that together. https://git.yoctoproject.org/swat-tools/
*We have isolated the Fedora43 workers until we can root cause the binary problems it was causing when the sstate was shared to older systems
*The UKI (Unified Kernel Images) series finally merged with tests, which will help ensure the code keeps working in the future.
*Further bitbake-setup changes under discussion for the new development cycle:
*We’re seeing a pattern of people submitting patches to master when they’ve only tested them against older releases. In several cases the issue wasn’t even present there. Please don’t do this, it wastes a lot of time. If you see the issue against an older release, please make that clear.
**defaulting to a common sstate directory and hashequiv server
*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:
**Allowing symlinking of local existing repos into the build instead of fetching
**Autobuilder
*The project is exploring the idea of applying for funding for security related work. If anyone (individual or consultancies) has ideas, please talk to Paul/Richard/TSC. This is an opportunity to work on those issues you never have time/funding for!
**Binary Distro
*We are considering entirely disabling the npm fetcher in bitbake due to the security issues until those are resolved
**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

We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
