 ** Lucid menus and dialogs can display antialiased fonts if Emacs is built
 with Xft.
 
+** Basic SELinux support has been added.
+This requires Emacs to be linked with libselinux at build time.

+*** Emacs preserves the SELinux file context when backing up, and
+optionally when copying files. To this end, copy-file has an extra
+optional argument, and backup-buffer and friends include the SELinux
+context in their return values.

+*** The new functions file-selinux-context and set-file-selinux-context
+get and set the SELinux context of a file.
