Key Status/Updates:

*	YP 4.0.3 has been through QA with a clean report and is likely to be
released
*	The CVE count for master rose sharply this week but a number of
fixes were sent by Khem, thanks!
*	Bitbake changes in class handling merged which means classes can now
be enforced to be in "global" or "recipe" scope. This handles a long
standing usability issue of it not being clear which scope classes should be
used in. For example, "testimage" now needs to be included via IMAGE_CLASSES
and not via INHERIT. Global class inclusions in recipes such as "base" and
"package" will now show a parsing error. "base" was particularly pointless
and can simply be removed as it was always inherited.
*	The rust toolchain changes merged and are now being tested by
default on the autobuilder but there is one intermittent issue with shebang
length overflow in the SDK which still needs to be resolved
*	We upgraded glibc to 2.36 and produced a new uninative version which
supports this.
*	There are patches out for review for the debug path improvements.
These rely on a gcc patch and small change of gcc behavior which is being
discussed with upstream.
*	There were cleanups to copyright and license headers in OE-Core and
Bitbake.
*	"largefile" support in oe-core was cleaned up and removed as we
assume this everywhere now, completing something we said would happen in
release notes a few years ago.
*	Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder
intermittent issues. You can see the list of failures we're continuing to
see by searching for the "AB-INT" tag in bugzilla:

*	There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project:

*	There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 4.1. See:

*	We'd welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the
list at:

ntainers.inc>
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/main
tainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core
mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to "Unassigned" soon to
help facilitate this.
