Key Status/Updates:

·         YP 2.6 M2 released on 8/10/18.

·         YP 2.5.1 is in QA. See https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.5_QA_Status.  It is 98% complete and should finish soon.

·         A summary of sstate usage was added to the initial build output which gives numbers for the fraction of artefacts which are being reused. We may need to tweak the presentation to the user but its good information to provide and feedback on it is welcome.

·         Glibc 2.28 is proving to have a number of issues to integrate including the significant size increase of its locale data, creating locale archives is likely the way forward for images reducing their size in core-image-lsb-sdk from ~900MB to ~220MB. The patches remain -next whilst fixes for issues are confirmed.

·         Many other miscellaneous fixes were merged covering many aspects of the system.

·         A potential DoS style issue was found in the bitbake checksum code and in fixing it the improvement of the checksumming code measurably improved (Thanks Ross!)

·         The sstate equivalency server work from Joshua/Garmin has review still pending but the related persist_data improvements are queued for merging.

·         The kernel-devsrc rework from Bruce/Windriver is pending patch resubmission.

·         2.4 (rocko) series stabilization continues for the next point release 2.4.4
