Key Status/Updates:

·        We now have a YP 2.3 M3 rc2 QA report after we worked around a couple of issues which unblocked the majority of the tests: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW14_-_2017-03-28_-_Full_Test_Cycle_2.3_M3_rc2

·        Based on the QA report, we are likely to release this as M3 and move on to M4.

·        Merging of patches to master has completely stalled whilst we try and figure out why some failures are occurring persistently on one autobuilder but not another for the same tests (in oe-selftest). There appears to be a patch in master-next which could be triggering this but we have been unable to identify which one and since selftest is a long running test, bisection isn’t looking attractive. The sheer number of bad patches triggering regressions is overwhelming the people/process.

·        The interaction between RSS, rm_work, the ide plugins and the SDK/eSDKs continues to be a significant cause for concern for the release, unfortunately this is blocked by the above patch merging issues.

·        Since we’re into the stabilization phase of 2.3, planning for 2.4 has begun and we’re entering 2.4 ideas and enhancements in to bugzilla. If you have suggestions for 2.4, please ensure they are in bugzilla.
