'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1.24 was released
*YP 3.1.33 has been released
*YP 4.2 final release is due to build next week
*YP 4.0.18 is due to be released
*Before final release we’d like to get updates to use the new CVE database format merged, there are also some rust fetch/tooling improvements that may also be potential merge candidates.
*There is an open letter the project has created related to the CVE/NVD situation, more information is available here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1990 Please consider signing this to show support for those changes. Signatures from small businesses/consultancies are as welcome as those from larger organizations as we want to demonstrate the breadth of the need for these changes.
*The glib-2.0 upgrade has reported issues with the malloc changes so we will defer that until after release.
*The project is sponsoring Syslinbit to separate out our CVE tooling from the build system into a standalone tool so that it can be used on software manifests of output at a later date.  
*There is some testing of the autoconf 2.73 pre-release version (2.72c) happening to ensure we’re in a good position when it finally does release, issues are being reported upstream.
*There are proposals on the openembedded-architecture list to rework how do_unpack works, switching it from WORKDIR to a new variable and changing some directory layout.  
*The project autobuilder controller is now on the latest upstream buildbot version. Our plugins and other integration were updated to match.
*The introduction of UNPACKDIR has happened, maintainers should be able to improve their S=WORKDIR recipes (which should use S, not WORKDIR/UNPACKDIR) and fix the common use of WORKDIR in do_compile/do_install to access files from SRC_URI which should now be UNPACKDIR.
*Our autobuilder console UI has had some improvements to fix bug and improve the layout (https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/console)
*gcc 14 has patches pending thanks for Khem and Martin in particular. Merging the new gcc version is needed to generate new uninative tarballs to support Fedora 40 builds or any other distro using the new gcc version.
*poky-bleeding should now be usable but hasn’t been integrated into our CI yet.
*The project is in the process of testing a new way of hosting our autobuilder with plans to switch soon if successful. Our existing hardware is past end of life and showing increased hardware failures so is currently down on capacity meaning builds are taking longer than normal.
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*Mailing list changes now mean any google hosted email accounts have the mailing list From: address rewritten. This had impacted our ability to handle patches but key maintainers now have workarounds for this.

*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!

We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
