This release includes enhancements and bug fixes as follows:
1. New certification requests for Red Hat Certification OpenStack
Platform versions 10 and 12 are no longer accepted in accordance with
the Red Hat OpenStack Platform Life Cycle policy[1]; as such creating
new RHOSP12 certification is no longer available.

2. The output from the rpm verification check (part of supportable and
info tests) is now captured in a separate file as an attachment to the
test. This change is intended to improve readability of the test log
in the Cloud, OpenStack, and Baremetal test suites.

3. Fixed an issue where the RDMA test would fail to map the target
networks from the local test server.

4. Improved presentation of the cpuscaling results.

5. Red Hat OpenStack Platform Certification test suite now honors the
temptest.conf value for the tempest.log file.


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