+udev 147
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+To support DEVPATH strings larger than the maximum file name length, the
+private udev database format has changed. If some software still reads the
+private files in /dev/.udev/, which it shouldn't, now it's time to fix it.
+Please do not port anything to the new format again, everything in /dev/.udev
+is and always was private to udev, and may and will change any time without
+prior notice.
+
+Multiple devices claiming the same names in /dev are limited to symlinks
+only now. Mixing identical symlink names and node names is not supported.
+This reduces the amount of data in the database significantly.
+
+NAME="%k" causes a warning now. It's is and always was completely superfluous.
+It will break kernel supplied DEVNAMEs and therefore it needs to be removed
+from all rules.
+
+Most NAME= instructions got removed. Kernel 2.6.31 supplies the needed names
+if they are not the default. To support older kernels, the NAME= rules need to
+be added to the compat rules file.
+
+Symlinks to udevadm with the old command names are no longer resolved to
+the udevadm commands.
+
+The udev-acl tool got adopted to changes in ConsoleKit. Version 0.4.11 is
+required now.

+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The udevadm trigger "--retry-failed" option, which is replaced since quite
+a while by "--type=failed" is removed.
+
+The failed tracking was not working at all for a few releases. The RUN
+option "ignore_error" is replaced by a "fail_event_on_error" option, and the
+default is not to track any failing RUN executions.
+
+New keymaps, new modem, hid2hci updated.
+
+udev 145
+========
+Fix possible crash in udevd when worker processes are busy, rules are
+changed at the same time, and workers get killed to reload the rules.
+
+udev 144
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Properties set with ENV{.FOO}="bar" are marked private by starting the
+name with a '.'. They will not be stored in the database, and not be
+exported with the event.
+
+Firmware files are looked up in:
+  /lib/firmware/updates/$(uname -r)
+  /lib/firmware/updates
+  /lib/firmware/$(uname -r)
+  /lib/firmware"
+now.
+
+ATA devices switched the property from ID_BUS=scsi to ID_BUS=ata.
+ata_id, instead of scsi_id, is the default tool now for ATA devices.

+The configure options have changed because another library needs to be
+installed in a different location. Instead of exec_prefix and udev_prefix,
+libdir, rootlibdir and libexecdir are used. The Details are explained in
+the README file.

 Event processes now get re-used after they handled an event. This reduces

 To be able to use signalfd(), udev depends on kernel version 2.6.25 now.
-Also inotify support is required now to run udev.

 The format of the queue exported by the udev damon has changed. There is
 no longer a /dev/.udev/queue/ directory. The current event queue can be

 Libudev does not have the unstable API header anymore. From now on,
 incompatible changes will be handled by bumping the library major version.
 
+To build udev from the git tree gtk-doc is needed now. The tarballs will

+The tools from the udev-extras repository have been merged into the main
