*YP 4.3 M1 has passed QA and is due to release
*YP 4.3 M1 was released
*The 6.1 kernel continues to have stability issues which appear to be introduced between 6.1.26 and 6.1.28, we’ve not seen the issue so far with 6.1.27. We know it happens on 32 and 64 bit x86 and occurs even with just one CPU enabled. This has not been seen by other kernel users which is a concern too.
*YP 3.1.26 is in QA
*We continue to see problematic intermittent failures on the autobuilder. We’re struggling to make progress against these and they are feeling overwhelming. We’re open to ideas on how we might try and address them. Experience shows that if left unresolved/ignored, people do end up hitting them in real world usage or during testing of their own products.
*The project has some exciting plans in progress and we're now in the fortunate position of seeking quotations for some development work. For more details please see this page on our website: https://www.yoctoproject.org/community/yocto-project-engineering-request-for-quotation/
*The autobuilder test matrix has seen some revisions:
*The automated regression reporting saw some issues for the M1 report so this is being worked on.
**to split out toolchain testing to a separate target
*There are pending patches to enable layer-<layername> overrides which is particularly useful for enabling layer specific QA checks. This does bring some changes of behavior for QA checks on bbappends
**remove some duplicate testing for efficiency
*usrmerge is now enabled by default for poky-altcfg, in preparation for the changes being required by systemd.
**optimize reproducibility testing to improve speed
*The 6.1 kernel hang regression was identified and we reverted the problematic patch until the correct fix merges and filters through the stable kernel trees.
We’re also about to add limited meta-clang testing to the test matrix.
*There have been a lot of ptest issues this week, not least after issues with “No-section” tracebacks were fixed, leading to an increase in reported failures as that was masking issues. There are some fixes proposed for ptest-runner but further help is needed on the various failures.
 
*We have been approached by a potential new maintainer for the eclipse plugins. There were some questions about who was still using it and what the test matrix should look like so please let us know if you are and we can connect you.
These should improve autobuilder test execution time but has made one test race issue much more common which will need to be addressed.
*The tunctl functionality for runqemu has been dropped as the ip tool can handle everything needed.
