*YP 3.1.15 is due to be released
*The first release candidate build for YP 4.0 (3.5) is due next week (Monday, 4th April)
*YP 3.4.3 is due to build
*YP 3.1.15 was released
*We decided to merge in a number of python recipes which allow us to build the sphinx documentation. These are used by our documentation build process and many of the dependencies were things which likely should have been in core anyway.
*YP 3.4.3 has passed QA and likely to be released imminently
*There was a small performance tweak to bitbake’s codeparser cache code which seems to show around a 10% parsing speed improvement
*We’re calming down the number of changes going into the release at this point including upgrades. For example the recent go uprev is very unlikely to make it in at this point. If there are patches you think should be in the release, please comment on them to show support.
*We have continued to take other minimal impact upgrades and this is having a positive impact on CVE numbers. We are looking likely to take the recently released libtool 2.4.7 since this is similar to 2.4.6 but keeps us current with upstream. Some recipes may need to clear out stale libtool m4 macros if version mismatch errors are seen.
*We were able to isolate one parsing process lockup which ideally we’d fix in the release but it is unclear if the fixes will be ready.
*Toaster has seen further fixes and should be ready for release.
*YP 4.1 planning document is available for review at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-g7DatSdmIETwD3xFSCxV7MbWVVkpQvQ788mIr1MPTI/edit?usp=sharing
*The AVAILABLE_LICENSES variable was removed since it has parsing overhead, had bad implications for task hashes and is no longer needed by any of the core code.
*Improvements to the documentation version number handling were made, making things easier for release engineering and general maintenance. It should also improve the items in the switcher dropdown menu, Please report any issues anyone spots with the docs.
*Some changes are being proposed to the documentation build process which should make version handling in releases easier and less error prone.
*If people see intermittent issues in their own builds, particularly if they’re the same as intermittent issues seen on the autobuilder, please do comment in the bugs mentioning when they happen as the frequency information does help us prioritize fixing the most common issues.
