This is a security and bugfix release. It fixes a privilege escalation issue caused by faulty random number generator code present only in the 3.2.0 release. This flaw only affects installations that are configured to use local or HTTP Digest authentication. Other minor bugs have also been fixed.
Instances now report what namespace they came from. There is a new MOF compiler switch to automatically find schema dependencies (superclasses and association REFs). An owrepositorydump utility has been added. there is a new library that allows the CIMOM to be "embedded" in an application. Support for multi-valued configuration items. Greater control over namespaces and the providers registered for namespaces. A new CIMListener API. A provider to manage OpenWBEM configuration. Many other fixes and enhancements.
