Release Notes

## [4.8.0-preview0004] - 2026-04-15

### Fixed

- KDCSVC event query now matches both provider names (`KDCSVC` and
 `Microsoft-Windows-Kerberos-Key-Distribution-Center`). Some Windows Server versions log
 KDC events 201-209 under the latter provider, causing the assessment to report zero events
 even when events exist.
