This release name is in honor of Brave New World, a great song of 🔥Iron Maiden🔥 from their Brave New World album. Dedicated to all of you looking forward to having the world we had before COVID… We hope is not hitting you bad. Enjoy the rest of the note below.

Important changes in this version (read this!):

• As you can see, Prowler is now in a new organization called https://github.com/prowler-cloud/.
• When Prowler doesn’t have permissions to check a resources or service it gives an INFO instead of FAIL. We have improved all checks error handling in those use cases when the CLI responds with a AccessDenied, UnauthorizedOperation or AuthorizationError.
• From this version, master branch will be the latest available code and we will keep the stable code as each release, if you are installing or deploying Prowler using git clone to master take that into account and use the latest release instead, i.e.: git clone --branch 2.7 https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler or curl https://github.com/toniblyx/prowler/archive/refs/tags/2.7.0.tar.gz -o prowler-2.7.0.tar.gz
• For known issues please see https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/issues the ones open with bug as a red tag.
• Discussions is now open in the Prowler repo https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/discussions, feel free to use it if that works for you better than the current Discord server.
• 11 new checks!! Thanks to @michael-dickinson-sainsburys, @jonloza, @rustic, @Obiakara, @Daniel-Peladeau, @maisenhe, @7thseraph. Now there have a total of 218 checks. See below for details.
• An issue with Security Hub integration when resolving closed findings are either a lot of new findings, or a lot of resolved findings is now working as expected thanks to @Kirizan
