The 5.3 version of @yoctoproject has been released today.

It comes a bit later than expected because of the introduction of the "bitbake-setup" tool and the termination of the "poky" repository as a combo layer.

I like Yocto's ability to introduce disruptive changes in newer versions. This is a good sign that the project is well alive and can still improve its core.
