*YP 4.3.3 is in QA.
*We are now a week from feature freeze for 5.0, our next LTS release
*The changes which we’d still like to see in 5.0 that have not merged yet are:
*The BBFILE_PRIORITY change is being deferred as unfortunately it causes problems with bbappend ordering.
**genericarm64 machine
*There have been fixes for python 3.12, recipe upgrades, kernel stable version bump and many other fixes and improvements this week.
**change to rust test suite logging
*The ‘scarthgap’ layer series name has merged to core. Compatibility with nanbield will be removed soon so maintainers will need to update their layers ASAP for the new release series.
**useradd fix
*Patch testing, review and merging is still a little behind due to the volume of failures combined with builds needing long buildtimes to do rebuilding core components like the compiler or libc.
**sstate permissions issue testcase
*Several performance regressions were identified in bitbake for world builds and patches have merged to try and improve those.
*Big thanks to those who submitted their changes before the deadline!
*LLVMVERSION has been dropped from OE-Core since it doesn’t need it. This resolves a long standing issue/conflict with meta-clang but may need fixes for other layers that rely upon the variable.
*There are also several concerning issues without any clear resolution path at present:
**rust upgrade blocked by reproducibility issues
**musl upgrade blocked by large number of unsubmitted pending patches
**nativesdk-systemd usage broken by usrmerge requirement (we can’t changing the SDK layout now)
**go isn't upgraded
**concern about dbus configure flags for testing
*There are several significant and useful changes which have merged recently:
**Improvements to devtool to use git notes
**devtool IDE support
**Hashserve improvements (cleanup API, parallel queries, existence API)
**oe-setup-build script merged
**python_mesonpy support
**various git fetcher fixes/tweaks
**vscode integration improvements
**CVE fixes or exclusion list tweaks
*There have been questions about official RISC-V support in this next release, especially since it is an LTS. There is the potential to do this since the configurations have been written and are close to working. We’re wondering about trial testing this for M3 as a proof of concept. Without higher tier project membership support, this will not make it into the LTS final release though.
