Key Status/Updates:

·         2.6 M3 rc1 has been built and is in QA.  See https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.6_QA_Status. It has just begun.

·         We’re now past feature freeze and all major changes planned for 2.6 have been merged so only bug fixes will be accepted now.

·         There were a number of issues leading up to the M3 build:

o    we upgraded openssh to a git version which includes openssl 1.1 support.

o    qemuarm64 was hanging upon boot which was tracked down to an entropy issue

o    there have been a number of good kernel warning fixes/cleanups as well as the more usual stable version updates.

o    the gnupg-native issues were resolved. (thanks Ross)

o    ARC support was mostly merged as an unofficial (untested) architecture.

o    A pseudo bug was identified with large inode numbers and a fix merged.

·         Builds in general are building with fewer warnings, those remaining have open bugs.

·         The new autobuilder based on buildbot ‘nine’ is now visible at: https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/console and the older systems are being decommissioned with the workers being transferred to typhoon. A number of issues have been identified (QA email sending, wiki log handling of builds with warnings but not errors and the build failure emails) which are being worked upon, some have already been fixed.
