'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*3.4, M1 is due to build this week (but see below).
*YP 5.0 rc1 is building but has many (6+) failures in the build so will have to be abandoned.
*YP 3.1.8 was released.
*The final dunfell build will follow 5.0 into QA.
*A possible cause for some of the intermittent issues we’ve been seeing has been identified as some of the kernel patches in linux-yocto, particularly aufs. We’re investigating this and will likely hold M1 until it is resolved.
*The master branch has diverged from scarthgap.
*A second intermittent issue has appeared with the latest kernel upgrade on centos8 causing testsdk to fail. This will also likely block M1 as builds fail with the issue and we’d have to disable autobuilder workers to make a release build.
*For 5.0, we were able to switch to the new hash equivalence server however the need for websockets complicated the worker configuration and needed new buildtools tarball versions which are causing various problems.
*We have a 10th anniversary T-shirt and some other Yocto Project items (hoody, stickers, mugs etc.) now available at https://yoctoproject.org/shop (EU and Americas sources)
*During the rc1 build as well as pip and setuptools issues within buildtools, we also saw a qemuppc boot issue, an instance of the spdx dependency problem, an sstate mirror issue and a github network error. This highlights how important fixing these is over the release cycle. The volume of these may impact our ability to maintain the LTS.
*The multiconfig changes in bitbake continue to cause problems, we still need simpler test cases to reproduce issues rather than huge builds. The existing patches seem to fix some workloads and break others. Richard is trying to fix but trying to fix autobuilder issues and other problems and these are slow builds to debug.
*Thanks to everyone who sent documentation patches, we’re in much better shape with the migration guide and release notes now. Further improvements are still very welcome.
*Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur and are now at a record high level. You  can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT We are working to identify the load pattern on the infrastructure that seems to trigger these.
*The “Binary Distro” work is now well underway and there are PR Server passthrough and image testing patches under review. The wiki page has had a number of policy/process proposals documented, help is welcome to help improve these, or highlight where further documentation is needed.
*There are patches for improving the build performance graphs in review. Sample output from the changes is here and here.
*There are also patches under review for the patch/cve metrics page to improve the usability.
*We continue to watch the NIST NVD (CVE database) situation, the recent update didn’t clarify much. Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be a clear path forward as yet but using data directly from MITRE may help give partial information. These issues are making it hard to know what to include in the 5.0 release as it isn’t clear which changes are security related.

*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!
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers

*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*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.
