This list is being migrated to https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/issues. The old list is below for reference until we have finished migrating.

• libselinux: Deprecate and eliminate legacy interfaces and compatibility code. Update all legacy users to newer interfaces, e.g. replace calls to matchpathcon interfaces with calls to selabel interfaces, replace most if not all SELinux userspace permission checks (security_compute_av, avc_has_perm) with calls to selinux_check_access, etc.

• libsemanage: Avoid module re-link on changes to other policy components.

• libsepol: Fix the port modify logic to support modifying ports in base policy.

• libselinux: Write missing man pages
