Sandboxes allow for self-directed testing outside of a certification in redhat-certification. Uses may include ad-hoc testing or testing in firewalled environments. * CI Sandboxes are no longer required for CI use in Openstack and Cloud and have been removed. * The rhcert-cli command, by default, now provides a guided workflow for testing towards completing a certification The complete changelog for each package may be found on the download page by selecting the package name followed by selecting the ChangeLog tab. 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. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact your Partner Manager or Engineering Account Manager.
