announcement, let us know.

Thanks to all the contributors to this release candidate!

User-visible changes since 2.9-rc1:

  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:

* 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:

$ pathfix.py -i/usr/bin/python `git grep -l -E 
'^#!.*/usr/bin/python'`
$ make PYTHON=/usr/bin/python ...
