We just pushed a second release candidate, 20140826-rc2, which just has
some minor fixes to the ChangeLogs and uses the scripts/release method
to make an actual release consistent with how they've been done in the
past. The tarballs for the individual components of userspace for rc2
are now available on the GitHub "Releases" wiki page [1].

The only action that should be required post upgrade is migration from
/etc/selinux to /var/lib/selinux. There is detailed information about
this process on the GitHub "Policy Store Migration" wiki page [2], but
the jist of it is after upgrading, execute the the
semanage_migrate_store script installed by default to
/usr/libexec/selinux. The script has additional options that can be used
to do things like remove the old store or prevent rebuilding the policy.
Run the script with --help for a description of the options.

Please let us know if there are any questions/issues.

Thanks,
- Steve
