OpenBSM is a BSD-licensed implementation of Sun's Basic Security Module (BSM) API and file format. It is the user space side of the CAPP Audit implementations in FreeBSD and Mac OS X. Additionally, the audit trail processing tools are expected to work on Linux.

Progress has been slow but steady this quarter, culminating in OpenBSM 1.2 alpha 4, the first release in three years. It features various bug fixes and documentation improvements; the complete list of changes is documented in the NEWS file on GitHub. The release was imported into FreeBSD HEAD and merged to FreeBSD 10-STABLE. As such it will be part of FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE.

Test the new release on different versions of FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Linux. Particularly testing on Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) and newer would be greatly appreciated. Fix problems that have been reported via GitHub and the FreeBSD bug tracker. Implement features mentioned in the TODO list on GitHub.
