I release it as 1.8 rather than 1.7.3 because I decided to change policy syntax and permissions to check. > Researching a little into the release history reveals a grace period > of at least a few months where 1.6.x was still maintained following the > release of 1.7 . 1.6 is still maintained and binary packages are still provided as well as 1.7. Only difference between 1.6 and 1.7 is that 1.6 supports up to Linux 2.6.31 whereas 1.7 supports up to Linux 2.6.37. > Does the project plan on continuing with such a grace period > between compatibility breaking releases and for how long would each grace > period be expected to last? I will continue supporting 1.7 after releasing 1.8. But I don't have predefined grace period. I want to continue supporting 1.7 as long as someone needs 1.7. > I'm also keen on seeing how 2.x develops and eagerly await the day that it > reaches feature parity with the 1.x releases.

After I release TOMOYO 1.8 on November 11th, I will start making changes towards TOMOYO 2.4 (which is based on TOMOYO 1.8). You can consult AKARI ( http://akari.sourceforge.jp/ ) because AKARI is based on TOMOYO 1.8 and AKARI implements all features which can be implemented using currently available LSM hooks. Regards.
