+udev 127
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+A shared library "libudev" will be installed now, to access udev
+device information. DeviceKit, the successor of HAL, will need this
+library to access the udev database and search sysfs for devices.
+The library is currently in an experimental state, also the API is
+expected to change, as long as the DeviceKit integration isn't
+finished.
+
+udev 126
+========
+We use ./configure now. See INSTALL for details. Current
+options are:
+    --prefix=
+        "/usr" - prefix for man pages, include files
+    --exec-prefix=
+        "" - the root filesystem, prefix for libs and binaries
+    --sysconfdir=
+        "/etc"
+    --with-libdir-name=
+        "lib" - directory name for libraries, not a path name
+        multilib 64bit systems may use "lib64" instead of "lib"
+    --enable-debug
+        compile-in verbose debug messages
+    --disable-logging
+        disable all logging and compile-out all log strings
+    --with-selinux
+        link against SELInux libraries, to set the expected context
+        for created files
+
+In the default rules, the group "disk" gets permissions 0660 instead
+of 0640. One small step closer to unify distro rules. Some day, all
+distros hopefully end up with the same set of rules.
+
+No symlinks to udevadm are installed anymore, if they are still needed,
+they should be provided by the package.
