Judging by the number of package upgrades on the list in the last few days
not everyone saw this, so I'll repeat it just to make sure:

Milestone 3 is closed, so OpenEmbedded-Core is now Feature Frozen.  Version
upgrades are considered features.  So, no more version upgrades from now
unless you have an *awesome* reason.

I'll be occasionally collating the version upgrades that get sent into a
"later" branch for basic testing but obviously the focus from now until
release is stabilising, fixing, and releasing.  It's probably preferable to
sit on any upgrades you were doing until we thaw so they can be sent
against master instead of needing to be rebased.
