<h1>Status</h1>
<strong>Current Version: 20060307</strong>
<p>
	See <a href="index.php?page=download">download</a> for download
	information. Details of this release are part of the <a href="html/Changelog.txt">changelog</a>.
	This release focused on improving the consistency of interface names
	in an effort to stabilize the Reference Policy interfaces.
	Currently both strict and targeted policies can
	be built.  MLS policies can be built, but the policy is still undergoing
	testing on running systems.

		<td>Interfaces, templates, Booleans, and tunables complete</td>
		<td>Tools to create webpages from the module interface and 
			template documentation is complete. Global Booleans and

	<tr>
		<td>MLS Infrastructure</td>
		<td>Minor improvements</td>
		<td>MLS infrastructure added to support easy conversion between
			MLS and non-MLS policy.  Policy is compilable, but
			only lightly tested.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>MCS Support</td>
		<td>Minor improvements</td>
		<td>MLS infrastructure has been extended to support MCS
			categories in users and all contexts.  MCS constraints
			have been added.  Policy has been tested in the
			targeted-mcs policy configuration.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>Network Infrastructure</td>
		<td>Minor improvements</td>
		<td>All network ports, nodes, and interfaces moved to
			corenetwork module, interfaces generated automatically.
			Plan to add more infrastructure for configuration of
			ports, nodes, and interfaces.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>User domains and roles</td>
		<td>Minor improvements</td>
		<td>Some infrastructure added to support per-user domain policy,
			e.g., to create types and policy for ssh,
			for each user.  Plan to add infrastructure to easily
			configure userdomains and roles.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>Labeling</td>
		<td>Minor improvements</td>
		<td>All labeling moved to modules, consistent with Reference
			Policy structure. Levels can be added to the labels
			without changes to the policy.</td>

		<td>Tunables</td>
		<td>Minor improvements</td>
		<td>Tunables are documented and included in the webpage policy
			documentation.</td>

		<td>Unchanged</td>
		<td>Assignment of users to roles.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>Constraints</td>
		<td>Unchanged</td>
		<td>Plan to split up into relevant modules when loadable modules
			support this.  There are ordering problems with source
			policies.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>Flask</td>
		<td>Unchanged</td>
		<td>Headers for the policy, describing object classes, and
			their permissions.  No planned changes.</td>

<h2>Policy Conversion</h2>
<p>
This phase of reference policy development involves the conversion of policies
from the example policy.  Please use the current NSA example policy
in <a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/selinux/nsa/selinux-usr/policy/">
NSA SourceForge CVS</a>.
For those who wish to contribute, here is a listing of modules which need to be
converted:
