This release includes enhancements and bug fixes as follows:

1. A new WirelessAX test is added to the hardware test suite for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 8 hardware certifications. This test checks if
the underlying WiFi adapter supports 802.11ax.

2. The hardware/info, cloud/supportable, openstack/supportable, and
software/supportable tests now WARN when the system does not meet
minimum memory per logical CPU core. Partners are encouraged to ensure
their test environments meet the recommended minimums during
certification testing. Testing results will be accepted for
certification where the required minimum or greater is utilized.

3. A bug is fixed in the Software certification RPM test where rpms
utilizing the "noarch" architecture could cause the test to traceback.
Parsing is now corrected and the test should execute as expected.

4. The Software certification RPM test now handles rpmlib and rpmlib()
package dependencies. These dependencies are not common, but software
utilizing rpmlib dependencies will need to use this release or later
for certification.


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
