WARNING this is a alpha - NOT a final release

AppArmor 5.0~alpha1 was released on 2025-07-31.

Introduction

AppArmor 5.0 is a major new release of the AppArmor that is in development.

Apprmor 5.0 is a bridge release between older AppArmor 4.x policy and the newer AppArmor 5 style policy. While backwards compatible with AppArmor 4.0 policy, AppArmor 5.0 introduces several new features that are not backwards compatible. It is the first release supporting these improvements to policy and as such AppArmor 5.0 will be a short lived release, and will not receive long term support. The following AppArmor 5.1 feature release is planned to be a regular release, please take this into account when including AppArmor 5.0 into a distro release.

Obtaining the Release

This beta release is only available through gitlab

Important note: the gitlab release tarballs differ from the launchpad release tarballs. The launchpad release tarball has a couple processing steps already performed:

  • libapparmor autogen.sh is already done, meaning distros only need to use ./configure in their build setup
  • the docs for everything but libapparmor have already been built
