+The option "ignore_device" does no longer exist. There is no way to
+ignore an event, as libudev events can not be suppressed by rules.
+It only prevented RUN keys from being executed, which results in an
+inconsistent behavior in current setups.
+
+BUS=, SYSFS{}=, ID= are long deprecated and should be SUBSYSTEM(S)=,
+ATTR(S){}=, KERNEL(S)=. It will cause a warning once for every rule
+file from now on.
+
+The support for the deprecated IDE devices has been removed from the
+default set of rules. Distros who still care about non-libata drivers
+need to add the rules to the compat rules file.
+
+The ID_CLASS property on input devices has been replaced by the more accurate
+set of flags ID_INPUT_{KEYBOARD,KEY,MOUSE,TOUCHPAD,TABLET,JOYSTICK}. These are
+determined by the new "input_id" prober now. Some devices, such as touchpads,
+can have several classes. So if you previously had custom udev rules which e. g.
+checked for ENV{ID_CLASS}=="kbd", you need to replace this with
+ENV{ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD}=="?*".
