Udevstart of older udev +versions will _not_ create these devices! + +udev 070 +======== +Fix a 'install' target in the Makefile, that prevents EXTRAS from +beeing installed. + +udev 069 +======== +A bunch of mostly trivial bugfixes. From now on no node name or +symlink name can contain any character than plain whitelisted ascii +characters or validated utf8 byte-streams. This is needed for the +/dev/disk/by-label/* links, cause we import untrusted data and +export it to the filesystem. + +udev 068 +======== +More bugfixes. If udevd was started from the kernel, we don't +have stdin/stdout/stderr, which broke the forked tools in some +situations. + +udev 067 +======== +Bugfix. udevstart event ordering was broken for a long time. +The new run_program() uncovered it, cause /dev/null was not +available while we try to run external programs. +Now udevstart should create it before we run anything. + +udev 066 +======== +Minor bugfixes and some distro rules updates. If you don't have the +persistent disk rules in /dev/disk/by-*/* on your distro, just +grab it from here. :) + +udev 065 +======== +We can use socket communication now to pass events from udev to +other programs: + RUN+="socket:/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event" +will pass the whole udev event to the HAL daemon without the need +for a forked helper. (See ChangeLog for udevmonitor, as an example) + +udev 064 +======== +Mostly bugfixes and see ChangeLog. + +The test for the existence of an environment value should be +switched from: + ENV{KEY}=="*" to ENV{KEY}=="?*" +cause "*" will not fail anymore, if the key does not exist or +is empty. + +udev 063 +======== +Bugfixes and a few tweaks described in the ChangeLog. + +udev 062 +======== +Mostly a Bugfix release. + +Added WAIT_FOR_SYSFS="" to be able to fight against the sysfs +timing with custom rules. + +udev 061 +======== +We changed the internal rule storage format. Our large rule files took +2 MB of RAM, with the change we are down to 99kB. + +If the device-node has been created with default name and no symlink or +options are to remenber, it is not longer stored in the udevdb. HAL will +need to be updated to work correctly with that change. + +To overrride optimization flags, OPTFLAGS may be used now. + +udev 060 +======== +Bugfix release. + udev 059 ======== Major changes happened with this release. The goal is to take over the
