Release Notes

5.0.1 (2021-06-10)

Bug fixes

• The AWS Well-Architected Framework controls would incorrectly move to an Alarm state if the controls' policy was set to Check: Choices based on sub policies or Enforce: Choices based on sub policies and all the sub-policies for choices were set to Skip. This is fixed and the controls will now move to an Invalid state for such cases.
