Key Status/Updates:

·        2.4 M2 rc2 is in QA and about 60% complete: 
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.4_QA_Status

·        A good set of updates have been merged into pyro in preparation for 
2.3.2 (thanks Armin!)

·        Some key bugfixes for the bitbake server rework were merged. These 
should handle cases where the server errors early on in startup much better in 
ways where the user can see what the issue is. Cleanups to various timeout 
loops and messages were also made. If people are seeing issues with the bitbake 
server rework please do report them as the currently known issues have all be 
fixed as of master today.

·        Llvm merged into OE-Core along with mesa support for llvmpipe. The 
mesa support is not currently enabled by default.

·        There have been some good changes to the image vm generation and 
compression chaining code which significantly cleaned up the code (and improved 
test coverage, thanks!). These may have some user visible effects so it's worth 
being aware of.

·        Much of the key maintainers time is being taken up with patch review, 
testing and tracking down which patch was responsible for which build failure. 
It does sometimes feel that people expect others to test their patches which 
isn’t the case. Test failures mean batches have to be retested and slow the 
merge of code into master so we’d appreciate people’s attention to detail when 
they do send changes.
