+udev 130
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Kernel devices and device nodes are connected now by reverse indizes in
+/sys and /dev. A device number retrieved by a stat() or similar, the
+kernel device directory can be found by looking up:
+  /sys/dev/{block,char}/<maj>:<min>
+and the device node of the same device by looking up:
+  /dev/{block,char}/<maj>:<min>
+
+udev 129
+========
+Fix recently introduced bug, which caused a compilation without large
+file support, where vol_id does not recognize raid signatures at the end
+of a volume.
+
+Firewire disks now create both, by-id/scsi-* and by-id/ieee-* links.
+Seems some kernel versions prevent the creation of the ieee-* links,
+so people used the scsi-* link which disappeared now.
+
+More libudev work. Almost all udevadm functionality comes from libudev
+now.
+
+udevadm trigger has a new option --type, which allows to trigger events
+for "devices", for "subsystems", or "failed" devices. The old option
+--retry-failed" still works, but is no longer mentioned in the man page.
+
+udev 128
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The udevadm info --device-id-of-file= output has changed to use
+the obvious format. Possible current users should use the --export
+option which is not affected.
+
+The old udev commands symlinks to udevadm are not installed, if
+these symlinks are used, a warning is printed.

+Optical drive's media is no longer probed for raid signatures,
+reading the end of the device causes some devices to malfunction.
+Also the offset of the last session found is used now to probe
+for the filesystem.
 
 The volume_id library got a major version number update to 1,
 some deprecated functions are removed.
 
-A shared library "libudev" gets installed now, to provide access
+A shared library "libudev" gets installed now to provide access
 to udev device information. DeviceKit, the successor of HAL, will
 need this library to access the udev database and search sysfs for
 devices.
