Key Status/Updates:

YP 2.7 M2 rc2 is in QA and 94% complete. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.7_QA_Status
YP M2 rc1 had major problems in perl as fallout from the perl upgrade and switch to perl-cross. We’ve therefore built an rc2 based on a more recent master.
The project is considering moving its mailing list hosting to groups.io, if anyone has any experience of that, positive or negative please let Michael, Nico and Richard know. Note that google has made further significant changes to its mail processing at the detriment to mailing lists: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/freedesktop/2019-February/000396.html
RDEPENDS handling in native recipes had a significant change, fixing some long standing bugs but also needing some circular dependencies to be fixed. The change may impact other layers.
Circular dependency debugging from bitbake was fixed and should no longer hang, another long standing issue which when fixed, allowed the native RDEPENDS to be debugged and fixed.
The default compiler path mappings were enhanced and should now also cover macro files.
There is major work/review going on for “resulttool” with a view to using this for QAing M3.
A new round of AUH (Automatic upgrade Helper) patches has been sent, thanks to everyone who’s processed and responded to those! It was able to upgrade around half the recipes needing upgrading.
