Subject: [rsbac-announce] RSBAC 1.4.5 released
Message-ID: <4C6E8FC7.70108@rsbac.org>

Rule Set Based Access Control (RSBAC) 1.4.5 has been released for the
Linux kernel 2.6.35+

GIT, HTTP, FTP and APT downloads for the new version are available
from the RSBAC website: http://www.rsbac.org

RSBAC is one of the leading access control systems for the Linux
kernel with a good selection of access control models, see
http://www.rsbac.org/why for more details.

Starting from 1.4.5 onwards, RSBAC  is also available through a smaller,
and faster to decompress LZMA archive (.xz files), as well as providing
SHA256 sum files for verification.

Most important changes since 1.4.4:

    * New release tool in rsbac-misc (rrel)
    * Fixed compilation with newer libtool
    * New rsbac_usershow option to list users with full name
      or with shell
    * More UM tool options work with multiple users given on
      the command line
    * Fixed symlink redirection to return the same sizes with a
      stat() or readlink() calls (this fixes dpkg assertion issues
      on newer versions of dpkg)
    * Fixed FS object hiding in most cases - but this feature
      is still experimental
    * Big DAZ code cleanup
    * Reworked and switched to a own list of slabs for RSBAC's
      memory allocation
    * And of course, many other bug fixes
