The Red Hat Certification management interface on Red Hat Partner Connect,
which is available at https://rhcert.connect.redhat.com, has been updated
to use these packages.

This release includes enhancements and bug fixes as follows:

   1.

   The user interface to request a new certification now starts with the
   selection of the partner product to be certified followed by the types of
   Red Hat Certifications available based on that product’s category.
   2.

   A new CinderLib test is introduced for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.
   CinderLib is a set of APIs that can be used to access a cinder driver
   outside of a RHOSP deployment. This test will run within the running
   cinder-volume container that is being certified.
   3.

   The advanced virtualization tests for hardware pass-through to a guest
   have been remixed to cover both the bus and class in a single test as
   follows:
   1.

      PCIe based network via the fv_pcie_network_passthrough
      2.

      PCIe based storage via the fv_pcie_storage_passthrough
      3.

      USB based network via the fv_usb_network_passthrough
      4.

      USB based storage via the fv_usb_storage_passthrough
      4.

   A new subtest, verify_fv_cpu_pinning, is added in fv_cpu_pinning test to
   better validate the processing pinning during the load test.


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
