[IMPACT]

The sos team is pleased to announce the release of sos-4.2. This release
contains numerous improvements and bug fixes to several components
within sos, including an overhaul to the project's test suite and
infrastructure.

[TEST PLAN]

[WHERE PROBLEM COULD OCCUR]

Regression could occur at core functionality, which may prevent sos (or
its subcommand to work. I consider this regression type as 'low'. That
is generally well tested, and we would find a problem at an early stage
during the verification phase if it is the case.

On the other end, regression could happen and are some kind of expected
at plugins levels. As of today, sos has more than 300 plugins. It is
nearly impossible to test them all.

If a regression is found in a plugin, it is rarely affecting sos core
functionalities nor other plugins. So mainly the impact would be limited
to that plugin. The impact being that the plugin can't or partially can
collect the information that it is instructed to gather.

A 3rd party vendor would then ask user/customer to collect the
information manually for that particular plugins.

Plugins are segmented by services and/or applications (e.g.
openstack_keystone, bcache, system, logs, ...) in order to collect
things accordingly to the plugin detected or intentionally requested
for.
