Subject: [refpolicy] ANN: SETools 4.1.0

I'm pleased to announce the SETools 4.1.0 release, available here:

https://github.com/TresysTechnology/setools/releases/tag/4.1.0

This release primarily focused on adding features to apol, but has
several library enhancements. There is also one important bugfix in
sediff. There were no changes since 4.1.0-rc.

Note: This will not compile on the master branch of libsepol (what will
be libsepol 2.7). A future release of SETools will have this support
(after libsepol 2.7 is released).


Changes since 4.0.1:

Library:
* Implemented support for alternate install prefixes.
* Implemented support for building setools with a locally-built
libsepol.
* Fixed an sediff bug with unioning rules after expansion.
* Improved sediff memory usage.
* Patch from Nicolas Iooss to make more stable output in TE rule
permission lists.
* Replaced string representations (e.g. rule types) with enumerations.
Requires the enum34 (not enum) Python package if using Python < 3.4.

Apol:
* Implemented context menu option for exporting the information flow
and domain transition analysis tree browser views.
* Implemented CSV export of table results.
* Implemented (clipboard) copy from table results.
* Added missing "clear" button in object class query.
* Implemented save/load settings for tabs.
* Implemented save/load workspace (save all tabs settings).
* Fixed include/exclude type dialog to keep its place when
adding or removing types from an analysis.
* Implemented filter on include/exclude type dialog to filter
the lists by attribute.


Warning: If you use the 2.5 SELinux userspace toolchain and use this to
replace SETools 3.x on your system, it will break the couple of tools
from sepolgen/policycoreutils that depend on SETools (e.g. sepolicy)
since libqpol/libapol C libraries and their corresponding Python
wrappers are no longer provided. The >=2.6 SELinux userspace toolchain
has updated its support to setools4, and does not have this problem.
