This Red Hat Certification package update *is* an official release and should be used for all new Red Hat certification submissions.

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server for ARM product that supports aarch64 hardware is still in developer preview state, but the packages at the above link can be used for early testing. All Programs - Test results can now have four possible values: - PASS - the test passes - WARN - the test passes, but logs should be checked for statements starting with “Warning:” where a best practice may not have been followed - REVIEW - the test requires review by Red Hat (see log messages marked “Needs Review:”) - FAIL - the test fails - The rhcert web UI now shows sub-test descriptions in test log views. - The “Progress” page in the rhcert web UI now gives a more simplified view and directs users to re-run or submit test results. - The redhat-certification-backend package no longer requires the redhat-certification-information package. - Certification packages in this release have the same version (4.1). Going forward, each release of certification packages will follow this practice. Hardware Certification - Support for RHEL 7.3 certifications - Support for RHEL for Real Time 7.3 certification Cloud Certification - New test suite (version 4.1) re-aligns testing based on customer values - New test suite subtests now provide PASS/WARN/REVIEW/FAIL status upon subtest completion - Support for Cloud Certification on RHEL 7.3 added - The secret-sos, redhat-certification-commons, and scap-security-guide package are not longer required by redhat-certification-cloud If you encounter any problems, please file bugs against the "Red Hat Certification Program" product in Red Hat Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com). Note that this may be a change from some users who are used to using the old "Red Hat Hardware Certification Program" product. We value your ongoing participation in Red Hat certification, software development, and testing efforts. Thank you for your continued partnership.
