<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We’ve realised we were going to run into problems with distros adopting glibc 2.27, if not now, during the next release cycle. We therefore decided to head off this problem and try and fix the issues now. Unfortunately,
due to locale changes in 2.27, it also breaks our eSDK in the current and all previous releases. We have fixes in master for this (thanks Ross!) and backports ready for rocko and pyro in the -next branches. Morty is proving harder to fix. We believe it is
likely better to fix these issue even if the changes are invasive (they are at least mostly contained to the SDKs).<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The gcc 6.x changes were merged into rocko/pyro/morty which means point releases are now unblocked by that issue.<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">The new buildbot autobuilder instance is working with basic functionality. We therefore plan to run the M3 release build on that infrastructure with a view to using it for the main 2.5 release. It was great to be
able to report an issue upstream and be using their latest code! The autobuilder functionality is improved in at least two significant ways already which benefit the maintainers.<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 really do need to roll M3 now, our current plan is to test the final changes in mut and then run M3 with this. It is not a perfect set of features, many things simply haven’t made it in as the people doing review
are overloaded. We’re too far past the freeze deadline to realistically make any further progress with this though.<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">ELC was productive and there was a lot of good discussion between the people there about many different things. In particular we have some ideas for improving the project’s build infrastructure to allow more builds
including other layers. More info will follow as we build the plans to make that happen.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
