@OVAL-Community/oval-board-members Thank you for your help in making OVAL 5.12 possible. If your product supports OVAL, please ensure that all of the relevant schema work properly in your application.

We will be moving on to OVAL 6.0 work, but will be able to create a 5.12.1 if any significant issues are found with the OVAL 5.12 updates.
