- Added almalinux as a know derivative of rhel (ENT-7644)

- Added lsmod to well known paths (CFE-3790)
- Added script to cleanup artifacts after cfbs build (CFE-3781)
- Added self upgrade support for SUSE (ENT-7446)
- Added separate classes for controlling autorun inputs and bundles
The class services_autorun continues to enable both automatic inclusion of .cf
files in services/autorun and the running of bundles tagged with autorun.
This change adds the classes services_autorun_inputs and
services_autorun_bundles for independently enabling addition of .cf files in
services/autorun and automatic execution of bundles tagged with autorun
respectively. (CFE-3715)
- Added support for downloading community packages on hub in preparation for binary upgrades
- Added variable for excluding files from Policy Analyzer (ENT-7684)
- Adjusted badges for 3.18.0 release (ENT-6713)
- Adjusted permissions for Mission Portal public tmp files (ENT-7261)
- Autorun bundles now run regardless of locks
Previously, when the autorun feature was enabled to automatically run bundles
tagged with autorun the bundle actuation was affected by promise locking. The
effect of this is that agent runs that happen close together would skip running
bundles run within the last minute. Now autorun bundles no longer wait for a
lock to expire, they will be actuated each agent execution. Note, promises
within those bundles have their own locks which still apply. (CFE-3795)
- Dropped un-necessary local variable
The use of this local variable triggers a bug that prevents datastate() from
printing. Since the variable is un-necessary, it's been removed and the
parameter is used directly. (CFE-3776)

- Physical Memory (MB) inventory now handles dmidecode MB or GB units
(ENT-7714)
- Promised permissions for Mission Portal application and Apache log files
This change ensures that both Mission Portal and Apache log files have
restrictive permissions. Previously this was un-managed. (ENT-7730)
- Reduced scope of report informing of missing systemd service
(CFE-290, ENT-7360)
- Removed build dir from install/dist targets (ENT-7359)
- Removed stale CMDB inventory policy (CFE-3712)
- Set apache umask to 0177 (ENT-7948)
- State changes of systemd services during agent run are now properly registered
(CFE-3753)
- Stopped enforcing permissions of modules in inputs
This change removes explicit enforcement of permissions for modules in inputs.
Instead of explicitly enforcing permissions in inputs, we rely on the default
permissions (600). The previous explicit permissions (755) are un-necessary as
modules are not executed from within the inputs directory and have resulted in
permission flip-flopping in some environments. Permissions on modules in the
modules dir (sys.workdir)/modules are still enforced. (ENT-7733)
- Switched from using package_method generic to default package_module
for windows software inventory (ENT-2589)
- Improved the reliability when detecting a Red Hat system.
Now if the ID field in /etc/os-release is set to rhel, the redhat_pure class
will be defined.
If the variable sys.os_release does not exist, redhat_pure is defined if we have already
defined redhat and we do not find classes for well known derivatives
- rocky, a class defined on Rocky Linux was added to the list of well known derivatives
(ENT-7628)
- Added advisory lock for Federated Reporting operations (ENT-7474)
- controls/cf_serverd.cf no longer specifies explicit
default for bindtointerface and relies on the default
binding to both :: and 0.0.0.0 on IPV6-enabled hosts
(ENT-7362)
- setup-status.json is no longer being repaired over and over on FR feeder hubs
(ENT-7967)

(ENT-6219, ENT-6823)
- Added tail & tail_n to standard library (CFE-3558)
- Added vars.mpf_admit_cf_runagent_shell to control admission for cf-runagent requests
(ENT-6673)
- Added verbose logfile for msiexec package module file installs
(ENT-6220, ENT-6824)
- Changed default behavior of policy update to keep inputs in sync with masterfiles
Prior to this change, the default behavior of the MPF was to only ensure that
files in masterfiles were up to date with the files in inputs. Files in inputs
that did not exist in masterfiles were left undisturbed. To enable sync
behavior (a common user expectation) you had to explicitly define
'cfengine_internal_purge_policies'. Now, if you wish to return to the previous
default behavior, define the class 'cfengine_internal_purge_policies_disabled'.
Ticket: (CFE-3662)
- Changed msiexec package module install logs to be unique for each msi file
(ENT-6824)
