'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.2 M1 is due to be built this week, likely once we merge a few remaining patches and hopefully some CVE fixes.
*YP 5.0 M3 has been released.
*Thanks to everyone who attended or helped contribute to the Yocto Summit, it seemed to be a success and had some good presentations!
*YP 4.0.17 is under review and due for release.
*There are a number of bitbake patches pending with an unresolved dilemma on functionality versus parsing speeds.
*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.
*CVEs in master have risen with 7 across 5 components, help in bringing the numbers down would be appreciated
*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 starting to see some rough plans around Y2038, largefile support and some other topics, thanks to all those helping move this forward, there has been some useful discussion and we look forward to seeing the changes!
*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.
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*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.
*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!
*The opkg lock issue is now understood but the best fix is still under discussion/ development.
*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”)
