.UEFI Secure Boot Chain
The boot packages (shim, grub2, kernel) are now signed by the
new Scientific Linux Secure Boot key.
If you use UEFI Secure Boot, you MUST import this new key
into your Machine Owner Key database.
If you do not use UEFI Secure Boot, no action is required.
.Iptables
iptables has been rebuilt with the fixes from RHBZ 1481207.
These patches resolve a bug where the iptables services report the
firewall is loaded when it is not. This bug primarily impacts dual
stack (IPv4 and IPv6) systems.
The upstream fix is still pending release.
.OpenAFS
OpenAFS has been updated to version 1.6.21 from openafs.org
.Anaconda User Help
The anaconda user help files are now correctly debranded.
Thanks for the bug report Michael Tiernan!

== UEFI Secure Boot ==
The status of UEFI Secure Boot for Scientific Linux is noted in detail at:
Booting SL7 with Secure Boot enabled works but requires a manual step.
This is because the "shim" has not been signed by the UEFI CA.
Instructions are included within the SL7 Release Notes.
