[IMPACT]

The sos team is pleased to announce the release of sos-4.2. This release contains numerous improvements and bug fixes to several components within sos, including an overhaul to the project's test suite and infrastructure.

[WHERE PROBLEM COULD OCCUR]

Regression could occur at core functionality, which may prevent sos (or its subcommand to work. I consider this regression type as 'low'. That is generally well tested, and we would find a problem at an early stage during the verification phase if it is the case.

On the other end, regression could happen and are some kind of expected at plugins levels. As of today, sos has more than 300 plugins. It is nearly impossible to test them all.

If a regression is found in a plugin, it is rarely affecting sos core functionalities nor other plugins. So mainly the impact would be limited to that plugin. The impact being that the plugin can't or partially can collect the information that it is instructed to gather.

A 3rd party vendor would then ask user/customer to collect the information manually for that particular plugins.

Plugins are segmented by services and/or applications (e.g. openstack_keystone, bcache, system, logs, ...) in order to collect things accordingly to the plugin detected or intentionally requested for.
