*We are pleased to report that sstate reuse on the autobuilder has improved significantly and this is reducing build times, to the point several of us did check to see if it did actually build things!
*There were other key changes to the task reproducibility and to the task outhash generation which were included in the release. These should also significantly improve hash equivalence matching and artefact reuse.

*Intermittent issues continue to rise, some seem to be issues coming from the newer distros we’ve added to the autobuilder (Centos 8 stream, Fedora 34 and Debian 11).
