Release Notes for Open-AudIT v1.4

Owned by Mark Unwin
Last updated: Apr 15, 2021

Released 2014-08-20

NOTE - Debian based distributions may receive an error when installing/upgrading about a missing perl package. This is safe to ignore and will be addressed in a future release.

NOTE - A new dependency exists for Linux installs, but is completely optional. If you have ipmitool installed, Discovery will use it to query the target machines. If they respond, they will be given a type of "remote access controller". There are two config items available to set the credentials. These are not (currently) displayed on the Discovery pages.
