v1.7.9

Open-CE Version 1.7.9

This is bug fix 9 of release 1.7 of Open Cognitive Environment (Open-CE).

Bug Fix Changes

Important notes

• As OpenSSL 1.1 is now out of support by Anaconda and the OpenSSL team, OpenCE now contains an OpenSSL 1.1.1zz package. This package links to the OpenSSL 1.1.1 version provided by RedHat, as this version is still supported. Hence, it requires that the target environment has the RedHat OpenSSL installed.
• This version does not provide Ray. If you require Ray, stay on 1.7.8
