'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.5 was released.
*YP 5.0 M3 has been released.
*There have been a number of important CVEs (e.g. the recent openssl one) which are merging to branches as they are ready, we suggest people keep an eye on the branches.
*YP 4.0.17 is under review and due for release.
*Patches continue to flow steadily into master.
*Steve is taking patches for Dunfell until around April 8 in preparation for an April 15 build. This will be the last release of dunfell.
*The CVEs in master continue to fall and patches are flowing into the other stable branches.
*There was a regression on beaglebone in 5.0 M3 where X11 wasn’t working but this has been fixed in master ready for the release.
*We are making some progress with patch submission upstream, including gcc. This does sometimes mean helping resolve other issues those patches then introduce which can be time consuming, thanks go to all helping work on this.
*A key worry now is the documentation for the release, especially given it is an LTS. There are emails on the docs list about this, help is much appreciated.
*The number of AB-INT issues continues to be of concern, we’re working to try and resolve the most frequently occurring issues to enable cleaner test runs but could use help.
*For M4, we are still hoping to transition to a different public hash equivalence server before release. We have stopped taking general point release upgrades to recipes unless there is a security or other key reason to take them. *The key remaining fix needed before building is for the opkg lock issue.
*We do have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, for example a number of rust bugs were opened recently. We are probably at an all time low on numbers of people able to work on bugs too which is a worrying combination.
*The opkg lock issue is now understood but the best fix is still under discussion/ development.
*If anyone is working on features for 4.2, please do let us know about them so we can plan accordingly. Even an idea of what is coming is helpful to plan.
*One set of the problematic autobuilder failures was tracked down to a queued but  unmerged bitbake patch. There are other intermittent issues which still need to be root caused, at least one failure was also due to system load issues.
*We continue to watch the NIST NVD (CVE database) issue and await further information about what the future holds there (https://nvd.nist.gov/  - “You will temporarily see delays in analysis efforts during this transition”)

*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: 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!

*We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
