Version 5.3.0 brings with it a great new feature - Benchmarks. Benchmarks allow you to compare your (at the moment Linux) server against standard published benchmarks such as CIS, NIST, HIPPA, DISA STIG and more.

We have also improved the installer for Redhat based systems to not require an external repository for newer PHP versions.

Don't forget you can always see the gory development details being committed on Githuhub here - https://github.com/Opmantek/open-audit/commits

For those supported customers running Redhat 9 with FIPS enabled, we now have a build available that will work with this combination. Please log a support ticket and request access to this.
