*We are now past M3 feature freeze. The blocking issues continue to reduce, thanks to everyone who has contributed fixes. The remaining issues are:
**psplash systemd race issues fixed (Thanks Scott)
**continued minor bugs with buildtools tarball integration
**make mips issue root caused and glibc fix pulled in (Thanks Victor/Khem)
**coreutils ptest blocked on reproducibility issues with gcc-plugins
**ltp upgrade resolved (Thanks Petr)
**util-linux update resolved (Thanks Pierre-Jean)
**Uninative tumbleweed issue resolved (Thanks Michael)
**libgpg-error upgrade (Thanks Alex)
*There were many other fixes and upgrades, thanks all!
*The remaining issues we need to look at addressing before we build M3 are:
**bind upgrade (needs libuv maintainer fix and resend from Armin)
**coreutils ptest blocked on libmodule-build-perl reproducibility issue
**Locked signature selftest failure
**SystemExit() intermittent selftest failure
**SystemExit() intermittent selftest failure
**pseudo sysroot high priority bug
**pseudo sysroot high priority bug
**gcc buildtools tarball solution for centos7 support
*There are significant changes proposed to bitbake’s logging structure to address concerns raised by hashequiv changes. These are currently in testing and are likely to become part of M3 given the timing, wider review is welcome.
*Recipe upgrades are now much less likely to be accepted unless there is a pressing need, ideally these should be held until 3.1 is released and development for 3.2 is started. We do not have a tracking branch for 3.2 as we’d like to focus people on 3.1 right now.
*Recipe upgrades are now unlikely to be merged into 3.1 as we focus on stabilizing and bug fixing for the release
*Bug metrics are not good with a rise in WDD when typically it should be falling for this point in a release cycle.
*Autobuilder build results continue to be a concern as we’re not getting green builds very often due to multiple varied issues.
