Testing Farm release 2025-09.1
Testing Farm release 2025-09.1 was deployed on 2025-10-17 🎉.
💔 Breaking Changes
The tmt-reboot -e option changed behaviour, see tmt 1.58 release notes for more information.
Please note, that in the future the restraint compatibility features will not be available on the guests by default, but will have to be explicitly enabled using the restraint-compatible flag. Currently the change is planned for January 2027. See the Restraint Compatibility section for the full schedule and details.
🎯 Highlights
The rhel-ci tmt policy is enabled for all RHEL CI requests.
This policy enables the avc check for all the tests, a feature parity with the legacy restraint based test executions.
