All,

Version 5.11 Release Candidate 1 is now available for community review
and comment. Attached is the change log for a full list of updates in
this release.

 

https://github.com/OVALProject/Language/tree/5.11-rc-1

https://github.com/OVALProject/Language/wiki#retrieving-a-specific-revision

 

This Release Candidate includes support for several new platform schemas
migrated from the OVAL Sandbox [1] as voted upon by the OVAL Board [2].
Some of these community contributions expands on the possible collection
endpoints to include the mobile platforms Android and Apple iOS, and the
network management protocol NETCONF. Changes made to the existing
Independent, Windows, Linux, Solaris, and Cisco IOS schemas include new
Tests, improved enumeration options, and clarified documentation. The
Windows accesstoken_test, user_test, and group_test have all been
deprecated in this version of the Language in favor of newer tests to
address identified limitations. This is not a full list of all changes
to be expected from the official OVAL 5.11 Language release, as other
proposals  are still being voted on by the OVAL Board.

 

Please let us know if you have any questions or discover any issues
while reviewing this Release Candidate.

 

Thanks,

David Rothenberg
