subject: ANN: Updated SELinux Release Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2006 16:43:22 -0400
The policy toolchain includes fixed support for optionals in the base module, extended range transition support (policy.21), and proper support for MLS constructs in modules. libselinux includes direct client-side support for context translation via an external translation daemon (vs. the older approach of dlopen'ing libsetrans if present) and new interfaces for accessing the keycreate and sockcreate attributes. libsemanage includes the file context sorting code based on the reference policy fc_sort helper, and now keeps file_contexts.local separate so that it is properly prioritized by libselinux. libsepol, libsemanage and policycoreutils also include preliminary netfilter_contexts support, although the details may still be subject to change. policycoreutils includes the secon utility for displaying contexts and their components, the restorecond daemon, and the semodule_deps utility for displaying module dependencies. Numerous bug fixes have been merged.
