**Strace kernel timeout problems - the issue has now been reproduced and understood upstream and a patch has been found to address the issue. We therefore plan to include this in M4 rc1 (thanks Bruce)
**Strace kernel timeout problems
**We upgraded to a new uninative version to ensure compatibility with distros shipping glibc 2.30 (thanks Michael/Armin).
**Better solution for systemd hwdb timeout
**We resolved the systemd hwdb postinst script issues (thanks Ross)
**Fixes for the lsb->altcfg release directory names
*The eSDK performance issue has been worked around but removal of old sstate artefacts on the system however we ultimately do need to improve the code (will target 3.1).
**Fix for hashserv bitbake-selftest server shutdown issue
**There is bitbake upgrade problem where an older OE-Core doesn’t work with a newer bitbake due to bb.build.FuncFailed being missing#
*The aim is to build M4 rc1 this week if at all possible but it depends on the above issues being fixed (there are open high bugs for these)
*A significant performance problem has been found on the autobuilder where some builds are scaling in time badly as the sstate cache grows, taking 12 hours or more in some cases. Unfortunately nobody seems motivated to help work on this kind of issue.
