• The project is planning to adopt SPDX license headers in its source code where practical, OE-Core now has the markup on its scripts too.
• Mailing lists are moving to groups.io instead of our current mailman setup on 27th May. This shouldn’t impact users directly, more details will be sent to the mailing lists in due course.

• We’re about ready to switch over to gcc 9 by default with one more issue needing to be resolved on mips.
