This release includes enhancements and bug fixes as follows:

1. The NVDIMM storage test in the hardware test suite no longer plans
the fsdax test by default. File system DAX mode is technology preview
in both RHEL 7 and RHEL 8 versions at this time.

2. A bug where a new partner without any products would be prevented
from creating their first product and first certification using rhcert
UI is now fixed. New partners should now be able to create their first
product and certification using rhcert.

3. The qcow2 and data images used for FV tests in the hardware
certification test suite are refreshed. The latest images can be found
at the usual place on the Partner FTP site:
ftp://partners.redhat.com/a166eabc5cf5df158922f9b06e5e7b21/hwcert/fv-images/

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
