Key Status/Updates:

*         YP 2.6.1 should release this week. The transition to automated QA is raising some questions about test results but we're working through those.

*         YP 2.7 M2 was built and is in QA and is 8% done.  See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.7_QA_Status

*         There have been a further round of gitsm fixes (and new test case additions). If anyone is seeing gitsm fetcher issues please report them. There are requests to backport these changes to the stable series. This has risks but people are reporting bugs there so is something we need to consider.

*         There has been little follow up from the last round of AUH patches. Please can maintainers work on this and get these submitted!

*         There has been little feedback on the proposed virtgl changes, these will likely merge as no discussion will be taken to mean there are no objections. This will have a performance impact.

*         There have been changes to the way the arm tunes are handled which merged after much discussion. The solution that merged should be safe and uncontroversial but if these do cause problems for anyone, please report ASAP.

*         We're getting much improved results from our automated testing but these are highlighting a number of problems. There is an email about issues found in ptest. The biggest challenge here now is finding people able to step up and help improve things.
