In the latest release, bug fixes are abundant - six, in total! A few highlights are that the pesky "Unreadable Content" error in Excel is now gone (#7), and some additional XCCDF statuses ("error" and "informational") are now reported as such (the remaining XCCDF statuses are also handled properly now, as noted in #66. For a full list of changes, please check out the Wiki Change Log page!

Outside of actual code, some recent changes also occurred on GitHub with respect to Vulnerator. Vulnerator is now considered an "Organization" (it used to be a user), which translates into a few security-related things:

• The "Vulnerator" account no longer exists, which means it cannot be logged into - one less possible attack vector
• The "Vulnerator" organization currently has three members, and only these members can approve merges of code into the "Vulnerator" repository. These members are also required to use two-factor authentication (2FA) to log into GitHub, providing an extra layer of security for the code.
  • 2FA is provided either via SMS (text message) or using the Google Authenticator app (think RSA token) - either way, the user is required to have their phone on them
• The master branch of the "Vulnerator" repository is now a "protected" branch, which ensures the branch:
  • Can't be deleted
  • Can't be force pushed
  • Can't have changes merged until required reviews are approved
  • Can't be edited or have files uploaded from the web

Looking forward, @amkuchta has been hard at work getting ready for v6.2.0, which will see a bevy of new features and some slick user interface enhancements. Items that are planned for v6.2.0 can be tracked via the v6.2.0 Project Page.
