*YP 4.0.19 is in QA
*YP 4.0.19 has been through QA and is due for release
*YP 5.1 M1 rc1 is building
*YP 5.1 M1 rc2 is in QA
*We identified the performance problem in bitbake using hash equivalence servers and have made changes to batch queries and improve build times
*RFC patches for the CVE tooling changes have been posted, help in review is appreciated
*Extra logging for that performance problem is available by setting BB_LOGCONFIG=XXX/bitbake/contrib/autobuilderlog.json (the more verbose logging the autobuilder uses) which will then show if initial query or rehash looping takes longer than 30s for iterations or 60s overall.
*There are SPDX 3.0 patches ready for review on the mailing list
*We changed locked-sigs to include the hash equivalence mapping data, removing the need to copy the cache file.
*There are patches proposing that missing patch Upstream-Status entries be a fatal QA error, this is likely to merge soon as there have been no objections to it.
*Libtool was upgraded to the 2.5.0 alpha release, many patches were merged upstream.
*We have a fix for the final Fedora 40 issue, thanks Victor.
*Qemu has been upgraded to 9.0.0, kernel headers to 6.9 and stable and dev kernel updates merged (to 6.6.32)
*We appreciate everyone fixing layers to work with master after recent changes, the autobuilder health is looking greener, thanks!
*There is one remaining issue on fedora40, systemtap-native does not build. The other Fedora 40 are believed to be fixed.
*The copy_unihashes function was dropped from bitbake after the locked signature file improvements which simplifies further tooling work
*Some layers are setting fallbacks for UNPACKDIR which break OE-Core by trying to claim compatibility with everything. Errors have been added to make this problem clear.
*There is discussion on openembedded-architecture about the details around  configuration fragment tooling potentially being integrated into bitbake
*sstate has had changes to fix a bug where build-history data was inconsistent. The siteconfig class was removed to make that change easier and improve the code, it was mostly unused anyway.
*The parallelism in the hash client was removed as batching queries is much more effective and easier on the server.
*There is an open letter the project has created related to the CVE/NVD situation, more information is available here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1990

*Post release upgrading is resulting in an improvement in patch metrics which is great to see, more should appear next week in the statistics too.
*Through post release upgrading our patch count reduced again and is now the lowest level since July 2008!
