Key Status/Updates:

  *   YP 1.9 M2 has been delayed whilst we investigated autobuilder runtime failures, selftest failures, some potential license contamination issues.
  *   The delay has also allowed us to prepare several important patch sets including bitbake lock fixes, tinfoil2 and some toolchain improvements (including automated testing improvements).
  *   Hoping for YP 1.9 M2 rc1 to build this weekend.
  *   YP 1.8.1 and YP 1.7.3 point releases have been held until some of the build issues are addressed.
  *   Post YP 1.9 M2, there will be some more invasive changes including changes to the default parameters to getVar and possibly getVarFLag as well as a switch to memory resident bitbake.
  *   gcc5 is looking much improved, have fixes for u-boot but some linux-yocto kernel issues remain.
