+ipk packaging changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ipk packaging (using ``opkg``) now uses ``zstd`` compression instead of ``xz``

+this is the case in 5.0, but at least by default these packages will not be
+usable on older systems where Opkg does not have zstd enabled at build time.
+
+Additionally, the internal dependency solver in Opkg is now deprecated --- it
+is still available in this release but will trigger a warning if selected.
+The default has been the external ``libsolv`` solver for some time, but if you
+have explicitly removed that from :term:`PACKAGECONFIG` for Opkg to
+select the internal solver, you should plan to switch to ``libsolv`` in the
+near future (by including ``libsolv`` your custom :term:`PACKAGECONFIG` value
+for Opkg, or reverting to the default value).

+
+motd message when using ``DISTRO = "poky"``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The default ``poky`` :term:`DISTRO` is explicitly a *reference* distribution

+features so that they can be tested, but this also means that
+from a security point of view the attack surface is very large.
+
+We encourage anyone using the Yocto Project for production use to create
+their own distribution and not use Poky. To encourage this behaviour
+further, in 5.0 a warning has been added to ``/etc/motd`` when Poky is used
+so that the developer will see it when they log in. If you are creating your
+own distribution this message will not show up.

+Release 5.1 (styhead)
+=====================
+
+Migration notes for 5.1 (styhead)
+------------------------------------
+
+This section provides migration information for moving to the Yocto
+Project 5.1 Release (codename "styhead") from the prior release.
+
+.. _migration-5.1-supported-kernel-versions:
+
+:term:`WORKDIR` changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+S = ${WORKDIR} no longer supported
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If a recipe has :term:`S` set to be :term:`WORKDIR`, this is no longer
+supported, and an error will be issued. The recipe should be changed to::
+
+    S = "${WORKDIR}/sources"
+    UNPACKDIR = "${S}"
+
+Any :term:`WORKDIR` references where files from :term:`SRC_URI` are referenced
+should be changed to :term:`S`. These are commonly in :ref:`ref-tasks-compile`,
+:ref:`ref-tasks-compile`, :ref:`ref-tasks-install` and :term:`LIC_FILES_CHKSUM`.
+
+:term:`WORKDIR` references in recipes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+:term:`WORKDIR` references in other recipes need auditing. If they reference
+files from :term:`SRC_URI`, they likely need changing to :term:`UNPACKDIR`.
+These are commonly in :ref:`ref-tasks-compile` and :ref:`ref-tasks-install`
+for things like service or configuration files. One unusual case is
+``${WORKDIR}/${BP}`` which should probably be set to ``${S}``.
+
+References to ``../`` in :term:`LIC_FILES_CHKSUM` or elsewhere may need changing
+to :term:`UNPACKDIR`. References to :term:`WORKDIR` in ``sed`` commands are
+usually left as they are.
+
+General notes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Files from :ref:`ref-tasks-unpack` now unpack to ``WORKDIR/sources-unpack/``
+rather than ``WORKDIR/``.
+
+If :term:`S` is set to a subdirectory under :term:`WORKDIR` and that
+subdirectory exists in ``sources-unpack`` after :ref:`ref-tasks-unpack` runs,
+it is moved to :term:`WORKDIR`. This means that ``S = "${WORKDIR}/${BP}"``,
+``S = "${WORKDIR}/git"`` and also deeper paths continue to work as expected
+without changes. We cannot use symlinks to do this as it breaks autotools
+based recipes. Keeping all sources under ``sources-unpack`` wasn't considered
+as it meant more invasive recipes changes. The key objective was separating the
+:ref:`ref-tasks-unpack` task output from :term:`WORKDIR`.
+
+Previously, :term:`S` was always created but after the recent changes it is no
+longer the case. This means the check in ``do_unpack_qa`` triggers where
+:term:`S` is not created by a recipe while it didn't happen before. This can
+require to add an :term:`S` definition to a recipe that only uses
+``file://`` :term:`SRC_URI` entries. To be consistent, the following pattern is
+recommended::
+
+    S = "${WORKDIR}/sources"
+    UNPACKDIR = "${S}"
+
+Building C files from :term:`UNPACKDIR` without setting :term:`S` to point at
+it does not work as the debug prefix mapping doesn't handle that.
+
+``devtool``  and ``recipetool`` have been updated to handle this and their
+support for ``S = WORKDIR`` and ``oe-local-files`` has been removed.
+
+Supported kernel versions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The :term:`OLDEST_KERNEL` setting is still "5.15" in this release, meaning that
+out the box, older kernels are not supported. See :ref:`4.3 migration notes
+<migration-4.3-supported-kernel-versions>` for details.
+
+.. _migration-5.1-supported-distributions:
+
+Supported distributions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Compared to the previous releases, running BitBake is supported on new
+GNU/Linux distributions:
+
+On the other hand, some earlier distributions are no longer supported:
+
+See :ref:`all supported distributions <system-requirements-supported-distros>`.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
--  Linux kernel 6.6, gcc 13.2, glibc 2.39, LLVM 18.1, and over XXX other recipe upgrades
+-  Linux kernel 6.6, gcc 13.2, glibc 2.39, LLVM 18.1, and over 300 other recipe upgrades
 
 -  New variables:
 
+   -  :term:`CVE_DB_INCR_UPDATE_AGE_THRES`: Configure the maximum age of the
+      internal CVE database for incremental update (instead of a full
+      redownload).
+

+      crashing the RPM package creation.
+
+   -  :term:`OPKG_MAKE_INDEX_EXTRA_PARAMS`: support extra parameters for
+      ``opkg-make-index``.
+

+      ordering issue
+
 -  Architecture-specific enhancements:
 
+   -  ``genericarm64``: a new :term:`MACHINE` to represent a 64-bit General Arm
+      SystemReady platform.
+
+   -  Add Power8 tune to PowerPC architecture.
+
+   -  ``arch-armv9``: remove CRC and SVE tunes, since FEAT_CRC32 is now mandatory
+      and SVE/SVE2 are enabled by default in GCC's ``-march=armv9-a``.
+
+   -  ``arm/armv*``: add all of the additional Arm tunes in GCC 13.2.0
+
 -  Kernel-related enhancements:
 
+   -  The default kernel is the current LTS (6.6).
+
+   -  Add support for ``genericarm64``.
+
 -  New core recipes:
 
+   -  `bmaptool <https://github.com/yoctoproject/bmaptool>`__: a tool for
+      creating block maps for files and flashing images, being now under the
+      Yocto Project umbrella.
+
+   -  ``core-image-initramfs-boot``: a minimal initramfs image, containing just
+      ``udev`` and ``init``, designed to find the main root filesystem and
+      pivot to it.
+
+   -  `lzlib <https://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzlib.html>`__: a data compression
+      library that provides LZMA compression and decompression functions.
+
+   -  `lzop <https://www.lzop.org/>`__: a compression utility based on the LZO
+      library, that was brought back after a (now reverted) removal.
+
+   -  `python3-jsonschema-specifications <https://pypi.org/project/jsonschema-specifications/>`__:
+      support files for JSON Schema Specifications (meta-schemas and
+      vocabularies), added as a new dependency of ``python3-jsonschema``.
+
+   -  `python3-maturin <https://github.com/pyo3/maturin>`__: a project that
+      allows building and publishing Rust crates as Python packages.
+
+   -  `python3-meson-python <https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson-python>`__: a

+   -  `python3-rpds-py <https://pypi.org/project/rpds-py/>`__: Python bindings
+      to the Rust rpds crate, and a runtime dependency for ``python3-referencing``.
+
+   -  `python3-sphinxcontrib-jquery <https://pypi.org/project/sphinxcontrib-jquery/>`__:
+      a Sphinx extension to include jQuery on newer Sphinx releases. Recent
+      versions of ``python3-sphinx-rtd-theme`` depend on it.
+
+   -  `python3-websockets <https://pypi.org/project/websockets/>`__: a
+      library for building WebSocket servers and clients in Python.
+
+   -  `python3-yamllint <https://github.com/adrienverge/yamllint>`__: a linter
+      for YAML files. In U-Boot, the ``binman`` tool uses this linter to verify the
+      configurations at compile time.
+
+   -  ``systemd-boot-native``: a UEFI boot manager, this time built as native to
+      provide the ``ukify`` tool.
+
+   -  `utfcpp <https://github.com/nemtrif/utfcpp>`__: a C++ library to handle
+      UTF-8 encoded strings. It was added as a dependency for ``taglib`` after

    -  QEMU has been upgraded to version 8.2.1
 
+   -  ``qemuboot``: support predictable network interface names.
+
+   -  ``runqemu``: match ".rootfs." in addition to "-image-" for the root
+      filesystem.
+
+   -  :ref:`ref-classes-cmake-qemu`: a new class allowing to execute cross-compiled
+      binaries using QEMU user-mode emulation.
+
 -  Rust improvements:
 
    -  Rust has been upgraded to version 1.75
 
+   -  The Rust profiler (i.e., PGO - Profile-Guided Optimization) options were
+      enabled back.
+
+   -  The Rust ``oe-selftest`` were enabled, except for ``mips32`` whose tests
+      are skipped.
+
+   -  ``rust-cross-canadian``: added ``riscv64`` to cross-canadian hosts.
+
 -  wic Image Creator enhancements:
 
+   -  Allow the imager's output file extension to match the imager's name,
+      instead of hardcoding it to ``direct`` (i.e., the default imager)
+
+   -  For GPT-based disks, add reproducible Disk GUID generation
+
+   -  Allow generating reproducible ext4 images
+
+   -  Add feature to fill a specific range of a partition with zeros
+
+   -  ``bootimg-efi``: add ``install-kernel-into-boot-dir`` parameter to
+      configure kernel installation point(s) (i.e., rootfs and/or boot partition)
+
+   -  ``rawcopy``: add support for zstd decompression
+
 -  SDK-related improvements:
 
+   -  ``nativesdk``: let :term:`MACHINE_FEATURES` be set by ``machine-sdk``
+      configuration files.
+
+   -  ``nativesdk``: prevent :term:`MACHINE_FEATURES` and :term:`DISTRO_FEATURES`
+      from being backfilled.
+
+   -  Support for ``riscv64`` as an SDK host architecture
+
+   -  Extend recipes to ``nativesdk``: ``acpica``, ``libpcap``, ``python3-setuptools-rust``
+
 -  Testing:
 
+   -  Move `patchtest` to the core (as ``scripts/patchtest``, test cases under
+      ``meta/lib/patchtest/tests``) and make a number of improvements to enable
+      it to validate patches submitted on the mailing list again. Additionally,
+      make it work with the original upstream version of
+      `Patchwork <http://jk.ozlabs.org/projects/patchwork/>`__.
+
+   -  Add an optional ``unimplemented-ptest`` QA warning to detect upstream
+      packages with tests, that do not use ptest.
+
+   -  ``testimage``: retrieve the ptests directory, especially for the logs,
+      upon ptest failure.
+
+   -  ``oeqa``, ``oe-selftest``: add test cases for Maturin (SDK and runtime).
+
+   -  Proof-of-concept of screenshot-based runtime UI test
+      (``meta/lib/oeqa/runtime/cases/login.py``)
+
+   -  Enable ptests for ``python3-attrs``, ``python3-pyyaml``, ``xz``
+
 -  Utility script changes:
 
+   -  ``oe-init-build-env`` can generate a initial configuration (``.vscode``)
+      for VSCode and its "Yocto Project BitBake" extension.
+
+   -  The ``sstate-cache-management`` script has been rewritten in python for better performance and maintainability
+
+   -  ``bitbake-layers``: added an option to update the reference of repositories in layer setup
+
 -  BitBake improvements:
 
+   -  New ``inherit_defer`` statement which works as
+      :ref:`inherit <bitbake:bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-metadata:\`\`inherit\`\` directive>`
+      does, except that it is only evaluated at the end of parsing
+      --- recommended where a conditional expression is used, e.g.::
+
+         inherit_defer ${@bb.utils.contains('PACKAGECONFIG', 'python', 'python3targetconfig', '', d)}
+
+      This allows conditional expressions to be evaluated 'late' meaning changes
+      to the variable after the line is parsed will take effect - with inherit this
+      is not the case.
+
+   -  Add support for :term:`BB_LOADFACTOR_MAX`, so Bitbake can stop running
+      extra tasks if the system load is too high, especially in distributions
+      where ``/proc/pressure`` is disabled.
+
+   -  ``taskexp_ncurses``: add ncurses version of ``taskexp``, the dependency
+      explorer originally implemented with GTK.
+
+   -  Improve ``runqueue`` performance by adding a cache mechanism in
+      ``build_taskdepdata``.
+
+   -  ``bitbake.conf``: add ``runtimedir`` to represent the path to the runtime
+      state directory (i.e., ``/run``).
+
+   -  Allow to disable colored text output through the
+      `NO_OUTPUT <https://no-color.org/>`__ environment variable.
+
+   -  ``git-make-shallow`` script: add support for Git's ``safe.bareRepository=explicit``
+      configuration setting.
+
+   -  Hash equivalence gained a number of scalability improvements including:
+
+      -  Support for a wide range of database backends through `SQLAlchemy`
+
+      -  Support for hash equivalence server and client to communicate over websockets
+
+      -  Support for per-user permissions in the hashserver, and on the client side
+         specifying credentials via the environment or ``.netrc``
+
+      -  Add garbage collection to remove unused unihashes from the database.
+
+-  devtool improvements:
+
+   -  Introduce a new ``ide-sdk`` plugin to generate a configuration to use
+      the eSDK through an IDE.
+
+   -  Add ``--no-pypi`` option for Python projects that are not hosted on PyPI.
+
+   -  Add support for Git submodules.
+
+   -  ``ide``: ``vscode``: generate files from recipe sysroots and debug the
+      root filesystem in read-only mode to avoid confusion.
+
+   -  ``modify``: add support for multiple sources in :term:`SRC_URI`.
+
+   -  Support plugins within plugins.
+
+-  recipetool improvements:
+
+   - ``appendsrcfile(s)``: add a mode to update the recipe itself.
+
+   - ``appendsrcfile(s)``: add ``--dry-run`` mode.
+
+   - ``create``: add handler to create Go recipes.
+
+   - ``create``: improve identification of licenses.
+
+   - ``create``: add support for modern Python PEP-517 build systems including
+     hatchling, maturin, meson-python.
+
+   - ``create``: add PyPi support.
+
+   - ``create``: prefix created Python recipes with ``python3-``.
+
 -  Packaging changes:
 
+   -  ``package_rpm``: the RPM package compressor's mode can now be overriden.
+
+   -  ipk packaging (using ``opkg``) now uses ``zstd`` compression instead of
+      ``xz`` for better compression and performance.
+
 -  Security improvements:
 
+   -  Improve incremental CVE database download from NVD. Rejected CVEs are
+      removed, configuration is kept up-to-date. The age threshold for
+      incremental update can be configured with :term:`CVE_DB_INCR_UPDATE_AGE_THRES`
+      variable.
+
+-  Toaster Web UI improvements:
+
+   - Numerous bugfixes, and additional input validation
+
+   - Add `pytest` support and add/update test cases

+   -  Documentation for using the new ``devtool ide-sdk`` command and features.
+      See :ref:`using_devtool` for details.
+
+   -  New ":doc:`bitbake:bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-ref-variables-context`"
+      section in the BitBake User Manual.
+

+      to perform text style checks and comply with text writing standards in
+      the industry.
+
+   -  New ``make sphinx-lint`` command to run `sphinx-lint
+      <https://github.com/sphinx-contrib/sphinx-lint>`__. After customization,
+      this will allow us to enforce Sphinx syntax style choices.
+
 -  Miscellaneous changes:
 
+   -  Systemd's following :term:`PACKAGECONFIG` options were added:
+      ``cryptsetup-plugins``, ``no-ntp-fallback``, and ``p11kit``.
+
+   -  New PACKAGECONFIG options added to ``libarchive``, ``libinput``,
+      ``libunwind``, ``mesa``, ``mesa-gl``, ``openssh``, ``perf``,
+      ``python3-pyyaml``, ``qemu``, ``rpm``, ``shadow``, ``strace``,
+      ``syslinux``, ``systemd``, ``vte``, ``webkitgtk``, ``xserver-xorg``.
+
+   -  ``systemd-boot`` can, from now on, be compiled as ``native``, thus
+      providing ``ukify`` tool to build UKI images.
+
+   -  systemd: split bash completion for ``udevadm`` in a new
+      ``udev-bash-completion`` package.
+
+   -  The :ref:`ref-classes-go-vendor` class was added to support offline builds
+      (i.e., vendoring). It can also handle modules from the same repository,
+      taking into account their versions.
+
+   -  Disable strace support of bluetooth by default.
+
+   -  ``openssh`` now has a systemd service: ``sshd.service``.
+
+   -  The :ref:`ref-classes-python_mesonpy` class was added (moved in from
+      ``meta-python``) to support Python package builds using the meson-python
+      PEP-517 build backend.
+
+   -  Support for unpacking ``.7z`` archives in :term:`SRC_URI` using ``p7zip``.
+
+   -  Add minimal VS Code configuration to avoid VS Code's indexer from choking
+      on build directories.
