Plugfest Drives Updates to PENS Tools

In response to feedback from the successful PENS Plugfest, the AICC has updated the PENS HTML Test Harness and PHP PENS Command Validator. The updated versions are online now from the PENS Sample HTML page on AICC.ORG. The updates reflect the approval of the CMI-012 Packaging Specification, and clarify the need for independent verification of package contents against the specified package format. See the README file for details.

An independent organization is also hosting an online version of the HTML test harness and the server validation tool for PENS- see http://pens.lmstesting.com/pages/resources.htm
