A new release of the SELinux Reference Policy is now available on
SourceForge from http://serefpolicy.sourceforge.net.  The primary
activity for this release has been renaming interfaces to improve the
naming consistency, in an effort to stabilize the API.  The change log
follows at the bottom of the email.

Again, for those that are interesting in contributing, right now the
best help would be to either test the policy or convert remaining
modules from the example policy over to Reference Policy; there is a
list of modules on the Reference Policy status page on SourceForge.

* Tue Mar 07 2006 Chris PeBenito <selinux@tresys.com> - 20060307
- Make all interface parameters required.
- Move boot_t, system_map_t, and modules_object_t to files module,
  and move bootloader to admin layer.

- Remove allow_execmem from targeted policy domain_base_type().
- Add users_extra and seusers support.
- Postfix fixes from Serge Hallyn.
- Run python and shell directly to interpret scripts so policy
  sources need not be executable.

- Add filename attribute to module XML tag and lineno attribute to
  interface XML tag.
- Changed QUIET build option to a yes or no option.
- Add a Makefile used for compiling loadable modules in a
  user's development environment, building against policy headers.
- Add Make target for installing policy headers.
- Separate per-userdomain template expansion from the userdomain
  module and add infrastructure to expand templates in the modules
  that own the template.
- Enable secadm only for MLS policies.
- Remove role change rules in su and sudo since this functionality has been
  removed from these programs.
- Add ctags Make target from Thomas Bleher.

- Move ice_tmp_t from miscfiles to xserver.
