This release includes enhancements and bug fixes as follows:
1. The “Other” protocol is now properly displayed for Manila plugin
certification.

2. The “Trusted Container” test is now a mandatory test on the SUT for
RHOSP 13 certification. This test will now be part of RHOSP 13 test
plans by default, aligning with the certification policy.

3. Enhancements in trusted_container test:
   a. Now captures the full "docker inspect" output for all images.
These logs are part of 'Logging container and images' subtest.
   b. Improved logging by adding a tabular representation for
container, image, authoritative url and vendor. This is part of
'Detection of RH/non-RH containers' subtest.
   c. Now additionally handles the case where though a container image
is built by Red Hat, its vendor is unknown.


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 for 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.

Regards,
The Red Hat Certification Team
