 ** New features
 
-  Add SELinux support (FIXME: add details here)
+  Add SELinux support, based on the patch from Fedora:
+  * cp accepts new --preserve=context option.
+  * "cp -a" works with SELinux:
+  Now, cp -a attempts to preserve context, but failure to do so does
+  not change cp's exit status.  However "cp --preserve=context" is
+  similar, but failure *does* cause cp to exit with nonzero status.
+  * install accepts new "-Z, --context=C" option.
+  * id accepts new "-Z" option.
+  * stat honors the new %C format directive: SELinux security context string
+  * ls accepts a slightly modified -Z option.
+  * ls: contrary to Fedora version, does not accept --lcontext and --scontext
 
   cp -p tries to preserve the GID of a file even if preserving the UID
   is not possible.
