This release includes enhancements and bug fixes as follows:

1. The certification window for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 15 is now
closed. Creating new certifications for this release is no longer
available from rhcert.

2. A bug has been fixed in the Red Hat Openstack Plugin certification
test suite where an unnecessary error was generated during CLI
execution of the tests if the python-paramiko package was not
installed.

3. Users may now select 'none of the options' when identifying their
application software rpms during the software/rpm test in RHEL 8
Application certification.

4. The Red Hat Hardware Certification package has added descriptive
messages during automatic test planning when the following tests do
not meet the memory-per-logical-core requirements:
   - Core
   - Memory
   - Realtime
   - Full-virtualization tests

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 Ecosystem Partner Management.

Regards,

The Red Hat Certification Team
