Hi all,

a new OpenSCAP release is available - openscap-0.9.3.

Changes:
- Embedded CPE dictionary (allows users to ommit --cpe argument)
- improvements of DataStream and CPE processing on RHEL5
- changed API of various functions in cpe_dict, benchmark and xccdf_policy to use string timestamp instead of time_t [1]
- fixed several issues found by Coverity and cppcheck static code analysis
- bug fixes

[1] Various functions in cpe_dict, benchmark and xccdf_policy model stored timestamps as time_t.
This solution was not reliable and caused problems in situation when man wanted to import/export SCAP content on machine
with messed up time and timezone. In order to overcome these issues we start storing timestamps as a string.
