Key Status/Updates:

• We have now passed the feature freeze point for 2.7
• YP 2.7 M2 rc2 is out of QA and being readied for release. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW07_-_2019-02-14_-_Full_Test_Cycle_2.7_M2_RC2 and https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Project_v2.7_Status#Milestone_2_-_Target_Feb._1.2C_2019
• We now have resulttool, buildhistory and build-performance all working with the autobuilder and will be using this as the primary QA mechanism going forward. More details can be found here:

• There were some serious usability issues found with multiconfig, those have been fixed in master and thud.
• Various recipe upgrades made it in, thanks to all who contributed. Several recipes also converted to meson including glib-2.0 and gdk-pixbuf.
• We now need to build M3 as we’re past feature freeze point for 2.7. Right now we’re aware of the following things which ideally need to be resolved first:
  • Bug 13178 “X server and matchbox desktop don't start up properly on beaglebone” needs to be fixed
  • Find the framebuffer problem with qemuarmv7 and switch to that
  • Several ptest issues would be addressed (missing openssl tests, 3 timeouts)
  • Arm build host issues identified and resolved
• It’s unlikely we’ll switch to virtgl by default for 2.7 due to lack of testing from the community although the base patches for this have merged.
