'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 6.1 M2 is due for release
*YP 6.1 M3 was released
*There are two AB-INT issues which are in a position where others could now help, as detailed in https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/242105:
*YP 6.1 is due for build imminently
*Blacksail and master are now on separate branches and have diverged.
*We are not aware of anyone focusing on specific 6.1 stabilization work so we will likely build 6.1 very soon.
*We’ve continued progress on the build architecture reproducibility issues, thanks all!
*There are issues where we could accept help:
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
**aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
**aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue - thanks for the work and fixes so far on this.
    We get a lot of comments about these being hard to reproduce or work on, in both cases, these have specific well defined things which need to be done and a basic understanding of what the issue relates to, if not the actual fix.
**Remaining github.com references in bitbake-selftest
*Remaining intermittent build failures  of concern:
*Bitbake’s network disabling has recently been enhanced to include landlock support. This means the network isolation for tasks can be more effective on certain kernel/distro combinations using newer technology.
**other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
*Next week is Open Source Summit EU and Yocto Project Developer Day in Prague! Contact Paul or Megan if you are attending and want to meet up with other Yocto Project folks, especially if you’re new t o our community.
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**Regular meetings on Tuesday and Thursday next week will be canceled, including the Tech call (Tue 6th), Patch review call (Thu 8th) and Bug triage call (Thu 8th). The Monday patch review call will be going ahead.
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*Some class cleanups were merged which did require tweaks to some metadata:
**https://lore.kernel.org/openembedded-core/20260802102854.3952760-1-richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org/
**See the “The series does break some things, notably” section
*Some invasive LICENSE changes have merged into master:
**We now require the LICENSE field to match SPDX identifiers.
**The build will issue warnings when this isn’t the case.
**Non SPDX licenses will need to be of the form LicenseRef-XXX
**CLOSED is no longer a valid value.
**‘WITH’ license exceptions are now supported
Big thanks to Joshua for getting us to the point where we can finally clean this up!
*We continue to work on the backlog of patches which has slightly reduced and we’re trying to catch up with AUH updates.
*Toolchain upgrades merged to glibc and bintuils with many other recipe version updates too.  
*Rust is now using a shared work directory which reduces disk usage significantly.
*There have been further important fixes in pseudo which were included in the latest upgrade.
*The new uninative does not have i686 build host support. This will mean i686 build host support with uninative will no longer be possible out the box when that is merged to the LTS branches. It is unlikely anyone should be using that!
