Greetings Red Hat Partners,

We are pleased to announce the general availability (GA) of updated
Red Hat Certification Test Suite packages
redhat-certification-2.3-20160317 and
redhat-certification-openstack-1.3-1 for certification purposes. This
Red Hat Certification package update *is* an official release and
should be used for all new Red Hat certification submissions. Passing
results from the previous certification test suite
(redhat-certification-2.2-20160202) will continue to be accepted for a
period of 90 days.

The updated Red Hat Hardware Certification packages are available at
the following location:

Highlights of the redhat-certification-2.3 package include:
* Improved Continuous Integration (CI) testing for certifications
(excludes Hardware Certification)
* Added support for Parallel CI efforts: CI automation can now run
against multiple certifications for a given vendor software product.
* Added support for Remote CI:  CI scripting using the rhcert-ci
command can now be run on a redhat-certification local test server
instance, as an alternative to running on the host used for
certification testing.

Highlights of the redhat-certification-openstack 1.3.3 package include:
* Support for upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 8.0
* Support for Director installation detection
* Inclusion of Optional Scenario Tests and Security Profiling
