What is new in FWTS 17.05.00?

Version 17.05.00 of the Firmware Test Suite was released this week as part of  the regular end-of-month release cadence. So what is new in this release?
  • Alex Hung has been busy bringing the SMBIOS tests in-sync with the SMBIOS 3.1.1 standard
  • IBM provided some OPAL (OpenPower Abstraction Layer) Firmware tests:
    • Reserved memory DT validation tests
    • Power management DT Validation tests
  • The first fwts snap was created
  •  Over 40 bugs were fixed
As ever, we are grateful for all the community contributions to FWTS.  The full release details are available from the fwts-devel mailing list.

I expect that the next upcoming ACPICA release will be integrated into the 17.06.00 FWTS release next month.
