'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.1.3 was released
*YP 5.0 M3 has been released.
*YP 3.1.24 has passed QA and is being reviewed for release
*YP 4.0.17 is under review and due for release.
*We are continuing to prepare for final release of 4.2 with the build now due in ~1.5 weeks
*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.
*We’re happy to see a huge improvement in the reliability of the python ptests thanks to a dedicated pytest plugin to correctly format the output into a form we can parse, thanks Ross!
*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.
*Work on making “poky-bleeding” operational again has highlighted some challenges around AUTOREV support. There are patches pending to bitbake (in -next) to highlight  problematic situations users may end up in, wider testing of those patches by AUTOREV users would be helpful.
*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.
*CVE levels in the LTS releases are at higher levels than they have been for a while which is a concern.
*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 have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*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”)

*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!
