Key Status/Updates:

·        YP 2.4 (Rocko) Final rc2 came out of QA with a number of minor issues.  See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW41_-_2017-10-13_-_Full_Test_Cycle_2.4_RC2

·        We believe we could release rc2 however we’re aware that there are some serious CVE issues that have just been announced and believe these are serious enough to warrant an rc3. Whilst we’ve been targeting the 20th, this will likely mean we’d ship slightly later than the date we’d planned but we’d prefer to do that than release with these known CVEs.

·        As a reminder, we are still in feature freeze and working on bug fixing. As such, recipe upgrades are not going to be taken, nor are patches which cause changes in behavior or break compatibility. In future releases our policy regarding version upgrades will be to identify anything that needs to change in M4 in advance (e.g. kernel or u-boot) so this issue becomes clearer and only known changes come in.

·        YP 2.5 Planning has begun.  Please enter your enhancement requests into Bugzilla.  Target milestone dates will be selected over the next few weeks.


Planned upcoming dot releases:

YP 2.2.3 is planned, but date TBD during YP 2.5 planning.

YP 2.3.3 is planned, but date TBD during YP 2.5 planning.
