Key Status/Updates:

·        We’ve reached feature freeze for 2.4 and the M3 rc1 build is in QA.  See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.4_QA_Status

·        Some things did not make 2.4. In particular, the python manifest rework didn’t, nor did the multiple kernels work or the switch to pkgconf by default. These patchsets were too late in the cycle and potentially caused too many issues. I’ve started queueing some things on master-next-2.5 in the meantime.

·        We’ve continued to struggle with various autobuilder reported failures although current master appears to be working better than we’ve had things for a while.

·        Some fixes were merged for the bitbake server reconnection issues and this should remove the traceback many people were seeing and generally clean up some of the behavior for reconnections.

·        There were some staging.bbclass fixes that have recently merged which allow the system to cope much better with changing things like the pkgconfig provider.
