[SecState] SecState 0.6.0 Release

[Francisco Slavin]

All,

Tresys is pleased to announce the release of the SecState 0.6.0.  This latest version of
SecState is targeted at and tested on RHEL 6.2.  This release includes the following
features:

- BASH Remediation support [1].  We have moved to BASH script-based remediation in
response to feedback from the remediation content community.
- Included in CLIP for RHEL 6.2 [2].
- Updated OpenSCAP [3].  SecState currently leverages OpenSCAP 0.9.1.  We had to rely on a
newer version than the base OpenSCAP available on RHEL 6.2 for bugfixes to the library.
- Tested with SCAP Security Guide (SSG) audit content [4].  The Tresys CLIP team currently
uses SecState to consume SCAP Security Guide content for all automated system auditing.
- Tested with Aqueduct remediation content [5].  The Tresys CLIP team currently
contributes BASH remediation content to the Aqueduct project and uses SecState to consume
that content.

RPMs and a tarball are available on the download page:

The mailing lists are now back up and operational as well.

Thank you
 - Francisco
