This version of the Hardware Certification Test Suite was released on
May 21, but only the errata announcement was sent. We neglected to send
this separate announcement to our partners as we usually do and we are
sending it now to correct that omission.
A newer version of the test suite, version 1.6.5.2-20140611, replaces
this version and is available now.
Greetings Red Hat Partners,
We are pleased to announce the general availability of the Red Hat
Hardware Certification Test Suite (hwcert-client-1.6.5.2-20140430) for
certification purposes with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x.
The Red Hat Hardware Certification Test Suite General Availability (GA)
package (hwcert-client-1.6.5.2-20140430) *is* an official release and
should be used for Red Hat Enterprise Linux certification submissions.
Results from the current Red Hat hardware test suite
(hwcert-client-1.6.5-20140416 for RHEL 6.x) will continue to be accepted
for a period of 90 days.
The Red Hat Hardware Certification Test Suite GA is available at the
following locations:

Highlights of the hwcert-client-1.6.5.2-20140430 test suite GA include:
* Multiple regressions in the network test have been fixed to resolve
problems planning the 40GigEthernet test and running the 10GigEthernet
that would cause tracebacks.
* A regression in the memory test has been fixed to allow it to pass on
RHEL6 i386 again.
The hwcert-client-1.6.5.2-20140430 GA package has been tested against
RHEL 6.5 on the x86, x86_64, ppc64, and s390x architectures. If you
encounter any problems, please file bugs against the 'Red Hat Hardware
Certification Program' product in Red Hat Bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com).
