*YP 3.2.1 is due for imminent release
*YP 3.2.1 and YP 3.3 M1 were released

*Patches for 3.3 M2 are now being reviewed, tested and merged.
*Many version upgrades have been merged and the project has worked closely with the upcoming autoconf and ppp releases to reduce our patch deficit and ensure we’re ready for them.
*The project’s work on reproducibility was mentioned in their monthly newsletter  https://reproducible-builds.org/reports/2020-11/
*We have seen a number of reproducibility failures from the increased test coverage on the autobuilder, several of the issues have had fixes.
*CVE statistics continue to look worse for master after ‘improvements’ to the matching code, help in resolving these newly highlighted issues would be much appreciated.
*We are now tracking intermittent ptest failures and a number of bugs have been opened for these, we don’t as yet have people able to work on them though.
*CVE metrics have trended slowly downwards, thanks to everyone sending patches and quietly improving things either through patches or better CVE definitions upstream.
*Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT

*Given the vacation many people are taking at this time and the expected ramp down in patch load and newsworthy items, we’re not planning another status report until 5th January. The project technical and triage meetings will also ramp down for this period and resume in the first week of January unless there is any pressing development that needs urgent attention.  
*The LTS release has changed documentation format from docbook over to sphinx to match master as it should be more maintainable and consistent with the project over the planned life of the LTS.
*For the LTS, there is also discussion on whether the wider reproducibility testing should be enabled as recently done in master due to the number of potential issues which may need to be fixed (master isn’t 100% working yet) as well as whether the pseudo path filtering should be backported. Please do give input to discussions on these topics on the mailing lists.
