RELEASE 20190315 (2.9)

User-visible changes:

  • Spelling errors were fixed in libselinux man pages

  • audit2allow supports xperms now. There are new '-x'/'--xperms' options which
    turn on generating of extended permisssion AV rules.

  • semanage login is fixed in order not to log two audit events which one of them
    was correct.

  • libsemanage resets umask before creating directories so that file permissions
    should not change after a change is committed.

  • Correct user name is used in ROLE_REMOVE audit events

  • The noise produced by checkpolicy command line tool is reduced now.

  • A new option '-S' or '--sort' is added to checkpolicy to sort the ocontexts
    before writing out the binary policy.

  • sepolicy and semanage accept aliases now.

  • Deprecated at_console statement was removed from dbus configuration.

  • audit2why can be run as non-root user now.

  • Added russian translations for man pages

  • setfiles can once again be used on SELinux-disabled hosts to label files,

  • setfiles and restorecon once again correctly ignore files with customizable
    types,

  • semanage login no longer fails if used with a group that has many members,

  • semanage boolean no longer fails if listing for a policy store other than the
    active one.

  • By default, /usr/bin/python3 is used by Python scripts and for building modules
    with python bindings.

Packaging-relevant changes:

  • Usage of DESTDIR in restorecond is consistent with other directories now

  • By default, /usr/bin/python3 is used by Python scripts and for building modules
    with python bindings. It's possible to switch to Python 2 using the following commands:

$ make PYTHON=/usr/bin/python` ...
