'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.34 was released.
*There is a proposal and proof of concept for changes to layer configuration and setup out for discussion/review: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2463
*YP 5.3.3 is approved for release.
*The proposed layer changes will likely be more invasive than many of the recent changes but also incorporate a number of new features and improvements which will make them useful to everyone and allow various cleanups of existing code.
*YP 6.0 M3 is the feature freeze for 6.0 which is our next LTS.
*There is also a discussion about recipe specific hosttools: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2467
*YP 6.0 M3 is now due to build however there are still key changes missing.
*The Yocto Project wiki has undergone significant cleanup, mostly with removal of obsolete pages/information. We plan to migrate the remaining data to a different solution. If anyone is able to help with review of content, please let us know.
*Issues still pending:
*The project has adopted an updated policy on AI-generated contributions: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/ai-assisted-contribution-policy.html
**Splitting wic into an external tool.
*There was a widely reported security issue with musl+openssh. The project has published details on the situation here: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto-security/message/1728
**Converting scripts/run-cvecheck to sbom-cve-check
*We had some positive response to our request for help with the issues highlighted from the bug triage team last week. Further help is requested with the following devtool & recipetool issues:
**DISTRO_FEATURES defaults improvements.
**go recipes are not devtool upgradeable (#14944)
**RHEL 9 xattrs/selinux/tar issue
**recipetool create should add tag= for git SRC_URI (#15816)
**How to improve DEBUG_BUILD?
*We have moved a couple of planned releases forward by a week to avoid needing to make a release during the end of the year holidays.
**RHEL 10/openSUSE Leap 16.0/Ubuntu 26.04 support
**6.1.1:    2026-11-23
*Issues that are mostly known quantities still needing work:
**6.0.5:   2026-11-30
**x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
**5.0.22:   2026-12-07
**Failure to generate regression reports in release builds
**6.2 M1:  2026-12-14
**Fixing yocto-check-layer to work with --machines (many fixes merged)
*Issues that were resolved this week:
**Sbom-cve-check added
**Replacement of runtlp with kirk (Thanks Daniel!)
**bitbake-setup vscode integration
**Fedora 43 selftest failures
**Reconciling poky and OE-Core defaults templates.
*We have rationalized the tags in various project repositories, more information can be found here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2312 Whilst controversial, this will make the tag list much easier to understand for users, guide users to use the right tags going forward and remove confusion about whether any tags were “missed”, at the expense that some CI setups may need adjusting short term.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and intermittent build failures are still problematic, including the emergence of new issues (newer kernel version?). We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
*The CFP closing date for the Yocto Project Workshop at Embedded Recipes 2026 has been extended until April 7th, please submit a proposal if you’d like to present: https://pretalx.com/yocto-embedded-recipes-2026/cfp
