*YP 3.1.4 should build this week now the CVE work has reached a logical point for the build.
*YP 3.1.4 will build later this week.
*Master has now opened up for 3.3 development and patches are merging.
*YP 3.3 development in master is continuing as patches are reviewed, tested and merged.
*Dunfell has seen a number of CVE report improvements (count of 202 down to 71 in the past three months), either through patches/upgrades or in corrections to the CVE database information, thanks Steve and all those who’ve helped.
*We plan to backport the sphinx documentation transition back to our LTS after 3.1.4 is built.
*The dunfell CVE improvements have also drastically improved the situation with master.
*A small but important issue was identified related to build reproducibility where the host umask was influencing the build output in relatively minor ways. We plan to run a mixture of umasks on the autobuilder infrastructure in future to avoid this source of reproducibility issues. There are patches for the issues queued for master and will be backported in due course.
*Support for fedora33 has been resolved but required making pseudo-native host specific and not ‘uninative’ due to differences in the way pseudo builds depending on the presence of headers.
*Hashserve “passthrough” support has merged allowing hashservers to be chained together, thanks Joshua.
*Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur. 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

*The SWAT team has been re-established. A new mailing has been created as swat@lists.yoctoproject.org to support this and a number of member organisations have agreed to help staff this team. We are in the process of getting the process running again and in due course there will be the option of other community members being able to help too. The tools and processes are under review to allow us to optimise the process. Thanks to the members and everyone participating to make this happen!
*Further autobuilder improvements have been submitted and accepted into upstream buildbot (field history, triggered build summary stats and work name display in build summary). As these are released and deployed, they will make small but important improvements to the autobuilder usability.
*There are big improvements underway to the autobuilder display of builds, for example, https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/44/builds/2744 which shows many more individual steps with more detailed information. *There still needs to be improvements to the configuration markup to make best use of this (help welcome!) but this should significantly improve the autobuilder readability.
*There are other ideas being discussed around autobuilder usability improvements such as remembering field history (patch submitted to upstream buildbot), better success/failure count reporting and potential replacement of the buildlog wiki page and autobuilder integration with a specific purpose django app.
