+udev 175
+========
+The default 'configure' install locations have changed. Packages for systems
+with the historic / vs. /usr split need to be adapted, otherwise udev will
+be installed in /usr and not work properly. Example configuration options are
+in INSTALL.
+
+The default install location of the 'udevadm' tool moved from 'sbin'
+to /usr/bin. Some tools expect udevadm in 'sbin'. A symlink to udevadm
+needs to be manually created if needed.
+
+Kernel modules are now loaded directly by linking udev to 'libkmod'. The
+'modprobe' tool is no longer executed by udev.
+
+The 'blkid' tool is no longer executed from udev rules. Udev links
+directly to libblkid now.
+
+Firmware is loaded natively by udev now, the external 'firmware' binary
+is no longer used.
+
+All built-in tools can be listed and tested with 'udevadm test-builtin'.
+
+The 'udevadm control --reload-rules' option has been renamed to '--reload'.
+It reloads the kernel module configuration.
+
+The systemd socket files use PassCred=yes, which requires systemd
+version 38.
+
+The udev build system only creates a .xz tarball now.

 The udev control socket is now created in /run/udev/control
 and no longer as an abstract namespace one.
