What's New with Security-Enhanced Linux?

13 August 2003

An updated public release of SELinux was made today. Some highlights of 
this release are listed below:

* Updated base kernel version for 2.6-based SELinux to 2.6.0-test3.  The 
SELinux module has been merged into the mainline kernel as of 2.6.0-test3.

* Added new 2.4-based SELinux (back port of 2.6-based SELinux).  This 
provides the same API and xattr support as the 2.6-based SELinux. The old 
2.4-based SELinux is still available, but is no longer being actively 
maintained.

* Added OLS 2003 SELinux BOF slides.

* Merged several fixes and cleanups for libselinux.

* Fixed a bug in checkpolicy.

* Merged improvement to chcon utility.

* Merged contributed policy patches.
