<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">A new uninative release was made (1.8) because distributions are moving to glibc 2.27 and this broke the old uninative.

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Performance metrics indicate that a recent merge has caused a slowdown in build times. It is suspected that the glibc upgrade is the cause of this although help would be appreciated to verify and possibly mitigate
this.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li style="color:black;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;vertical-align:baseline">

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Go upgrade/improvements were merged.

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">EFI image refactoring patches were merged.

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">A number of patch refresh patches were merged. These are to solve problems with patches applied with “fuzz”, where patch will note that the context isn’t correct anymore but the differences are hopefully small enough
to apply anyway. Sometimes this is useful (other changes causing the target lines to move), sometimes it’s actively harmful (patch applied incorrectly, silently breaking behaviour). We hope to warn when fuzz is detected during the 2.6 cycle so these patches
are removing fuzz from oe-core. Expect a mail to the lists soon explaining how to find and remove fuzz.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li style="color:black;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;vertical-align:baseline">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We are continuing to work on the autobuilder changes and for various reasons (inc. changes in people). We would be in much better shape to switch to the new codebase before release, rather than waiting until early
2.6 to pick this work up again by which time we would have lost people and context. If we are to switch, we need to build M3 with the new infrastructure. We plan to make this switch for M3.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
