Key Status/Updates:

· YP 2.6 M4 rc1 is in QA, 95% completed, and the current status can be viewed at: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=WW44_-_2018-10-30_-_Full_Test_Cycle_2.6_M4_RC1

· There are a number of good bug and CVE fixes queued in master-next which makes an rc2 possible although its likely these would merge to thud immediately after release instead due to how far behind schedule we now are.

· A problem with the way the Yocto Project Compatibility tests are being run was identified as it was possible to fail the BSP compatibility tests if the machine option was specified. There is a fix for OE-Core in master-next but we need to likely improve the way the test is being run for that to ensure everyone is using it consistently.

· At ELC-E/OEDEM, issues were mentioned to do with the completeness of the source mirror. Issues were identified by Michael and Richard and the source mirroring should be working properly again, including supporting http only builds. A new test has been added to the autobuilder to ensure this does not regress.

· Patches are queuing up in master-next right now, ready for when we start taking patches for the 2.7 development cycle, but a number will also likely merge to the thud branch as they’re useful bug or CVE fixes.
