+# audit.workbench 0.6.28

+## Bug fixes and minor improvements
+
+* The report names the user who ran the audit, lists skipped checks in their own group, and strips `http://` from the server name. Its wording no longer comes from Connect, the securityheaders.com link points at securityheaders.com, `gt` and `gtExtras` are in Suggests, and the README says how to render it (#40).
+* The Quarto Python and pip checks prefer the newest Python in `/opt/python` over `python3` on the `PATH`, which on Debian and Ubuntu can't make a virtual environment without `python3-venv`. If a virtual environment can't be made, the error names the Python it tried (#41).
