·         Master took ~30 patches over the past week with patch review/testing pending on around 50 more.

·         The feature list for 2.6 is becoming more specific now and at a high level the current intent is:

o    Gcc 8.X

o    oe-selfest paralelisation

o    Autobuilder rework to new buildbot with testing efficiency improvements

o    Automation of current manual QA testing

o    Python profile guided optimisation (pgo)

o    Inter-multiconfig dependencies

o    Sstate hash equivalence server/implementation for improved sstate reuse

o    Standardised OE Layer index client library in bitbake

o    Toaster for use as a configuration tool extension/enhancements

·         Patches for oe-selftest are on the mailing list. There was a longer discussion of the different options and implementation details which was sent to the openembedded-architecture mailing list.

·         Thanks to the few people who took on unassigned bugs. There are still plenty there if anyone else is interested in helping!
