Key Status/Updates:

*         YP 2.6.1 is out of QA and the QA results are being reviewed.  See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW02_-_2019-01-09_-_Full_Test_Cycle_2.6.1_RC1

*         We have preliminary patches for the qemuarm migration to an armv7 machine. These haven't passed testing and will need some improvements, particularly in the area of graphics support so will be deferred to M3 but it is great to see progress being made.

*         The qemu virtgl patchset is also making great progress in review/development but will also be deferred to M3.

*         We are now running the build performance tests as part of our standard autobuilder which is a further step towards streamlining our testing and release process. We are having some problems with the graphs that are generated in the emails. If anyone has experience or interest in helping with this (google charts in emails) we'd love to hear from you!

*         The perl changes which landed last week seem to have mostly been ok, there have been some race issues and we're grateful to Alex and the perl-cross upstream for their fast turnaround on those.

*         Further fixes for the gitsm fetcher landed but there are still reports of issues. We continue to try and find ways to expand our test case matrix so we can fix the issues *and* ensure we don't regress.

*         The latest round of updates from the AUH were sent out. Some have responded to this and sent in upgrades, many have not. If you are listed as a maintainer, please help us keep recipes up to date!
