[Open-scap] OpenSCAP 1.3.0

[Ruben Oliva]

 Hi Shawn.


Hope things are going well with you.


I notice the changes that add Windows CPEs and Windows support.


Are you planning to create a Windows-version of OpenSCAP?

Thanks Jan!

How far along is Windows support? Saw the mention of 'basic' -- but how

For example:
- How many Windows probes are implemented?
- Does OpenSCAP on Windows pass the NIST automated tooling?
- Where can we send people who want to find out more?
