## New Features

- Shiny: Check out the new `windows_firewall` and `windows_firewall_rule` resources! ([#4979](https://github.com/inspec/inspec/pull/4979))
- New Factor: New `junit2` reporter is now available! The `junit2` reporter shows the standard JUnit specification in XML format, and is recommended for all new users of JUnit. ([#5085](https://github.com/inspec/inspec/pull/5085))
- In Progress: We added a test in preparation for the macOS Big Sur (11.0) beta release. ([#5217](https://github.com/inspec/inspec/pull/5217))

## Improvements

- Revision: We converted the legacy `junit` reporter into a plugin. Nothing changed about using the `junit` reporter, but it's a great example of a plugin if you want to build your own! ([#5084](https://github.com/inspec/inspec/pull/5084))
- Better Finding: Experience more robust Darwin operating system detection. ([#5175](https://github.com/inspec/inspec/pull/5175))
- Lighter: We removed unused dependencies and the `inspec` gem no longer ships with the readme file. ([#5201](https://github.com/inspec/inspec/pull/5201), [#5203](https://github.com/inspec/inspec/pull/5203), and [#5202](https://github.com/inspec/inspec/pull/5202))
- Upgrade: Omnibus builds now use Ruby 2.6.6 for improved security. ([#5198](https://github.com/inspec/inspec/pull/5198))

## Bug Fixes

- Restored: The `mysql_session` resource works again with `stdout`, `stderr`, and `exit_status` parameters. ([#5219](https://github.com/inspec/inspec/pull/5219))

## Backward Incompatibilities

- Reminder: We no longer build packages for Debian 8 as it is considered end-of-life. ([5197](https://github.com/inspec/inspec/pull/5197))
