RSBAC 1.4.5 has been released for the kernel 2.6.35.2

Starting from 1.4.5 onwards, RSBAC is also available through a smaller, and faster to decompress LZMA archive (.xz files), as well as providing SHA256 sum files for verification.

Most Important changes since 1.4.4:

• New release tool in rsbac-misc (rrel)
• Fixed compilation with newer libtool
• New rsbac_usershow option to list users with full name or with shell
• More UM tool options work with multiple users given on the command line
• Fixed symlink redirection to return the same sizes with a stat() or readlink() calls (this fixes dpkg assertion issues on newer versions of dpkg)
• Fixed FS object hiding in most cases - but this feature is still experimental
• Big DAZ code cleanup
• Reworked and switched to a own list of slabs for RSBAC's memory allocation
• And of course, many other bug fixes
