'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.1.2 is in QA
*YP 4.0.10 is ready to release after TSC review
*A large number of package upgrades have merged bringing us up to date with various upstreams.
*YP 4.2.1 is in QA
*We have started moving code out of core bbclass files into the function libraries to help reduce parsing memory use, volumes of data transfer and sstate signature data sizes. Help is welcome in developing further patches to improve our function libraries.
*M1 is approaching fast (two weeks left), so please try and get any major changes submitted soon.
*The autobuilder controller has been relocated to deal with connectivity issues, we do have some issues to iron out before things are back to normal service. We were unable to upgrade the buildbot version as there were too many other moving pieces.
*Patches have been merging into master, thanks to everyone for both review feedback and iterating on patches
*We are trying to upgrade uninative to include libgcc to deal with pthread_cancel failures.  Newer versions of patchelf are proving problematic and appear to be causing segfaults and we’re trying to untangle this from other issues.
*We need to upgrade to gcc 13 soon, this is blocking enabling Fedora 38 workers on the autobuilder as we don’t have a compatible uninative release.
*We have reverted the tune for qemux86-64 back to corei7-64 since we still have v2 hardware that won’t work properly with v3 under KVM and similar.
*There are time64 patches being proposed to handle Y2038 issues on 32 bit architectures which likely need further discussion since the compiler flag changes aren’t without risk and potential side effects.
*A uninative bug has been exposed by recent bitbake datastore improvements which could cause sstate to be missed/duplicated.
*We’re aiming to improve documentation as we go along in this release, please keep this in mind when sending patches. Adding to the documentation as we go will make the release a lot easier.
*We merged a number of neat rust improvements which add on target cargo support and added automated QA tests for this functionality so we can ensure it continues to work and doesn’t regress. Thanks Alex Kiernan, we hope to see more series like this one!
*Autobuilder instability is a concern as known good builds are regularly hitting issues, particularly the “ubuntu 20.04 libgcc not found” issue which is likely python version specific but there are other intermittent issues too. As an example, three of the last nightly builds failed in succession. Due to the intermittent nature of these bugs, few people are willing to spend time on them but they mean patches are being very slow to merge. Help is very much needed but it is hard to be specific about where/what the issue is unfortunately.
*CVE levels in master are becoming worrying again, help would be appreciated to address the open issues.
*The autobuilder maintenance window now occurs on Mondays.
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.

*As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: patchtest, layerindex, devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
