options which
turn on generating of extended permisssion AV rules.

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

* Deprecated at_console statement was removed from dbus
configuration.
* semanage export output includes ibpkey and ibendport now.
* audit2why can be run as non-root user now.

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

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:
$ pathfix.py -i/usr/bin/python `git grep -l -E
'^#!.*/usr/bin/python'`
$ make PYTHON=/usr/bin/python` to use Python 2 .
