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. + +The option "last_rule" does no longer exist. Its use breaks too many +things which expect to be run from independent later rules, and is an idication +that something needs to be fixed properly instead. + +The gudev API is no longer marked as experimental, +G_UDEV_API_IS_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE is no longer needed. + udev 146 ======== Bugfixes.
