Key Status/Updates:

*       YP 3.1.10 was released
*       Next week is feature freeze for YP 3.4
*       Known pending work for YP 3.4 includes rust support in core and the
prserv changes.
*       OE-Core has moved to the new override syntax and is now only
compatible with the honister release series. Other layers will need to
migrate to the new syntax to work with it. There is documentation about
handling migration to the new syntax in the migration section of the manual:

 
<http://docs.yoctoproject.org/migration-guides/migration-3.4.html#override-s
yntax-changes>
http://docs.yoctoproject.org/migration-guides/migration-3.4.html#override-sy
ntax-changes

*       There continue to be small bug fixes from the override syntax change
but most of the core layers tested on the autobuilder now seem to be working
ok.
*       We merged the upgrade to glibc to 2.34. Unfortunately this version
makes some changes which have broken uninative and pseudo. Fixes for those
issues are being investigated. 
*       Kernel changes to drop 5.4 and switch to 5.10 and 5.13 are pending,
mainly on other layers being ready for the change to the default versions.
*       There also appear to be issues in the buildtools tarball on aarch64,
probably from the gcc 11 upgrade.
*       There is a plan to migrate the tune files into architecture specific
directories. This patch will likely merge in the next few days and will need
BSP layers to be updated as the tune files will no longer be found.
*       The bitbake fetcher no longer ignores SSL certificates by default
(this wasn't a huge problem as we separately checksum input files).
*       LTO linker flags handling changes were merged now the
reproducibility issues it introduced were fixed meaning LTO builds should be
more reproducible.
*       Overlayfs class changes were merged.
*       Intermittent issues are ongoing and help is very much welcome on
these issues. You can see the list of failures we're continuing to see by
searching for the "AB-INT" tag in bugzilla:

*       There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project:

*       There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.4. See:

*       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/mai
ntainers.inc>
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/main
tainers.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.
