V1.3 - 13 May 2021
We are proud to announce the introduction of a new document build pipeline, which is a major milestone for our project. The build pipeline is based on Pandocker and Github Actions. This significantly reduces the time spent on creating new releases and will also be the foundation for the OWASP MSTG and will be made available for the OWASP ASVS project.
