Key Status/Updates:

*        A build for M2-rc3 was passed to QA after successful tests on the 
autobuilder. Unfortunately there appears to be an X11/sato runtime issue, 
seemingly on some 32 bit platforms which may mean another rebuild is needed 
once we identify the regression.

*        The pseudo connection retry fixes have highlighted some issues. We 
have debugging patches in master-next which we're trying to use to identify the 
remaining race/client/server connection issues.

*        The expansion parameter to getVar and getVarFlag has become mandatory.

*        The default make parameters have been changed thanks to some great 
work by Mike Crowe. The original default in hindsight was suboptimal so this is 
something we've wanted to do for a long time.

*        M3 is fast closing upon us and is the feature freeze for 2.1. Please 
get all enhancement work and package upgrades in before the end of the month. 
The number of items targeting M3 is a concern as we may have a stampeding herd 
of patches at the deadline.

*        We are trying to merge various "invasive" changes before the deadline 
to allow time for those changes to soak test in isolation.

*        Recipe upgrade status is continuing at a high of 86%

*        A key glibc vulnerability was exposed this week. We have fixes for 
this in master, jethro and fido, all users are strongly recommended to upgrade.
