*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

*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.
*We have removed much of the github.com usage in bitbake-selftest which is improving autobuilder connectivity issues. Some references remain, see the link below.
*There is also a discussion about recipe specific hosttools: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2467
*There is a possibility that openssl 4.0 is causing TLS issues in git connection requests in CI. Help/insight welcome.
*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.
*There is a vblank kernel warning message causing problems in CI with the 7.2 kernel.
*The project has adopted an updated policy on AI-generated contributions: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/ai-assisted-contribution-policy.html
*Given the limited number of people working on bug fixing, the number of issues likely to be fixed in M4 is low and we are considering speeding up M4 by a few weeks, allowing more time for 6.2 M1 and for the release to be built by ELC in Prague.
*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
*AI scrapers and bots continue to impact the infrastructure, taking huge amounts of time for our sysadmins and with a significant cost impact to the project.
*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:
*Adrian has made significant improvements to the IDE integration with devtool which have now merged, thanks!
**go recipes are not devtool upgradeable (#14944)
*There are issues which are in a position where others could now help:
**recipetool create should add tag= for git SRC_URI (#15816)
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
*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.
**aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue - thanks for the work and fixes so far on this.
**6.1.1:    2026-11-23
    See Richard’s email on the list https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/topic/areas_we_could_do_with/121159956 which details some others too
**6.0.5:    2026-11-30
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.
**5.0.22:  2026-12-07
**6.2 M1:  2026-12-14
