This release includes enhancements and bug fixes as follows:

1. Updated the 40GigEthernet test to specify the message size to make
the test measurement more reliable.

2. Fixed an issue with the core clocktest where a mismatch of online
CPUs to configured CPUs caused the test to incorrectly fail.

3. Fixed an issue with the spmquery subtest in the RDMA tests where a
missing device name parameter may test the wrong device.

4. Updated the Cloud container subtest to include an additional check
for verifying the required container registries are configured and
enabled.


The complete changelog for each package may be found on the download
page by selecting the package name followed by selecting the ChangeLog
tab.
