4.6.0 Release Candidate 1

We expect this release candidate to be available for a short time for the community to review, test, and validate the release. We will fix any critical bugs.

A critical bug is defined as:

  • A new security issue introduced in the release candidate with a high CVE score
  • A regression bug where existing behavior was unintentionally broken
  • Any other issue which is deemed as critical by the maintainers

All other issues will be recorded and worked on to the best of our ability.

We also request feedback on the release notes - any questions about the notes during the RC will get addressed before the GA release. Screenshots, questions, clarifications are helpful!

New Contributors

Please congratulate and thank our new contributors. We sincerely appreciate their time and effort to improve OIE for everyone!
