This release includes enhancements and bug fixes as follows:

1. "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.0" replaces "Red Hat Enterprise Linux
8.0 Beta" version in the web user interface.

2. The Publish tab now shows the features and their current status to
be published in RHEL 8 hardware certifications.

3. Added FTP proxy support for the virtualization tests in Hardware
Certification to allow the guest images to download within a proxy
environment. Add the line below to the <urls> section of the
/etc/rhcert.xml file of the system under test and adjust the proxy
server to match your environment to enable FTP proxy support:
<proxy-url protocol="ftp">http://ftp.proxy.server:port</proxy-url>

4. The Cloud Image Certification Supportable test now requires the
container tools to be installed in RHEL 8-based images.

5. The 'rhcert-cli register' command will now properly prevent
registration of a System Under Test (SUT) to a management-only Local
Test Server (LTS).


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

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.

The Red Hat Certification Team
