ANN: Reference Policy Release

["Christopher J. PeBenito" <cpebenito@tresys.com>]

A new, major release of the SELinux Reference Policy is now available on
the Tresys OSS site, http://oss.tresys.com.  In this release, the type
enforcement-based role separation was replaced with SELinux user-based
access control (UBAC) role separation.  This support deprecates the
per-role templates and rolemap support of the policy.  It also breaks
some compatibility in the interfaces API; however, the compatibility for
types and other policy symbols has been preserved.

Due to the magnitude of this change, the Reference Policy version scheme
has slightly changed, by adding a major number (2) to the version.
Previous versions are considered 1.yyyymmdd releases.

The The complete change log for this release follows at the end of the
email.

For people interested in helping Reference Policy development, the X
desktop and role separation needs testing.
