'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.2 rc1 has potential issues which may need an rc2:
*YP 5.0.14 was released
**Issues running glxgears
*YP 5.3 rc4 has passed QA and is under review
**Failure to boot on arrowlake platform
*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.
**genericarm64 has getty issues on some hardware platforms
*There was an announcement about the new project roles: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2207
*YP 4.0.26 is out of QA and under review, likely to release
*Welcome to Paul and Yoann in their new roles and huge thanks to Steve!
*Thanks to careful work, pending patches and overall total patches both decreased, thanks Alex.
*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 upgraded mesa after some changes to the llvm build, thanks Dimitry.
*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
*We are seeing initramfs size issues on genericarm64 on the autobuilder.
*Further bitbake-setup changes under discussion for the new development cycle:
*We can now mark up python function variable dependencies using decorators, thanks Joshua.
**defaulting to a common sstate directory and hashequiv server
*The bitbake whitespace change for assignment operators is ready to merge as we believe all autobuilder tested layers have updated.
**Allowing symlinking of local existing repos into the build instead of fetching
*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!
*We are considering entirely disabling the npm fetcher in bitbake due to the security issues until those are resolved

*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
