Key Status/Updates:

We have now passed the feature freeze point for 2.7
YP 2.7 M2 rc2 is out of QA and being readied for release. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW07_-_2019-02-14_-_Full_Test_Cycle_2.7_M2_RC2 and https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Project_v2.7_Status#Milestone_2_-_Target_Feb._1.2C_2019
We now have resulttool, buildhistory and build-performance all working with the autobuilder and will be using this as the primary QA mechanism going forward. More details can be found here:

There were some serious usability issues found with multiconfig, those have been fixed in master and thud.
Various recipe upgrades made it in, thanks to all who contributed. Several recipes also converted to meson including glib-2.0 and gdk-pixbuf.
We now need to build M3 as we’re past feature freeze point for 2.7. Right now we’re aware of the following things which ideally need to be resolved first:

Bug 13178 “X server and matchbox desktop don't start up properly on beaglebone” needs to be fixed
Find the framebuffer problem with qemuarmv7 and switch to that
Several ptest issues would be addressed (missing openssl tests, 3 timeouts)
Arm build host issues identified and resolved

It’s unlikely we’ll switch to virtgl by default for 2.7 due to lack of testing from the community although the base patches for this have merged.

Planned Releases for YP 2.7:
