Key Status/Updates:

*	M3 has now closed and we're at feature freeze for 3.2.
*	There are a number of patches we need for 3.2 which are still being
sorted out and M3 will build once that has happened.
*	Bitbake server startup has been changed to avoid the issues
previously discovered. There are some issues with traceback
handling/reporting during early init which are being resolved as a result of
that and those have open bugs.
*	The server changes have improved memory resident bitbake but some
issues with state tracking still remain so memory resident bitbake will not
be the default until 3.3, assuming we can debug those remaining problems by
early in 3.3.
*	There has been work in enabling PRServ to work well with hash
equivalence, thanks to Mark for sorting out this long standing work item. We
aim to have this in 3.2 but some tests need fixing before it can completely
merge.
*	We will process one last round of recipe upgrades before we build
M3.
*	We were finally able to change the fcommon gcc defaults back to
standard, thanks to all who helped make that happen.
*	The number of autobuilder intermittent bugs has continued to rise
unfortunately.

You can see the list of failures we're continuing to see by searching for
the "AB-INT" tag in bugzilla:
<https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT>
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT

Help with any of these would be much appreciated, unfortunately it is
proving hard to find anyone interested in helping figure these out and they
significantly hamper our testing.

*	One way to help the project is to help us with bugs that are
currently unassigned but ideally needed during YP 3.2. See:

*	Globbing support in file:// urls has been removed.
