The selinux/ChangeLog file has a summary of the changes to LSM and SELinux since the last release.

I would generally recommend doing a full installation, following the instructions in README as before. You don't need to do step 8 unless you were running the non-LSM SELinux prototype. There have been changes to the policy and setfiles/file_contexts configuration since the last release. If you made customizations to your policy and setfiles/file_contexts, then you should check whether the same customizations are still needed, since we may have merged them into the example policy. We try to merge policy customizations into the example policy when people contribute them back to us as long as they are reasonable. The configuration languages haven't changed, other than the addition of the policy/devfs_contexts file for devfs file labeling.
