+udev 078
+========
+Symlinks are now exported to the event environment. Hopefully it's no
+longer needed to run udevinfo from an event process, like it was
+mentioned on the hotplug list:
+ UDEV [1134776873.702967] add@/block/sdb
+ ...
+ DEVNAME=/dev/sdb
+ DEVLINKS=/dev/disk/by-id/usb-IBM_Memory_Key_0218B301030027E8 /dev/disk/by-path/usb-0218B301030027E8:0:0:0
+
+udev 077
+========
+Fix a problem if udevsend is used as the hotplug handler and tries to use
+syslog, which causes a "vc" event loop. 2.6.15 will make udevsend obsolete
+and this kind of problems will hopefully go away soon.
+
+udev 076
+========
+All built-in logic to work around bad sysfs timing is removed with this
+version. The need to wait for sysfs files is almost fixed with a kernel
+version that doesn't work with this udev version anyway. Until we fix
+the timing of the "bus" link creation, the former integrated logic should
+be emulated by a rule placed before all other rules:
+ ACTION=="add", DEVPATH=="/devices/*", ENV{PHYSDEVBUS}=="?*", WAIT_FOR_SYSFS="bus"
+
+The option "udev_db" does no longer exist. All udev state will be in
+/$udev_root/.udev/ now, there is no longer an option to set this
+to anything else.
+If the init script or something else used this value, just depend on
+this hardcoded path. But remember _all_content_ of this directory is
+still private to udev and can change at any time.
+
+Default location for rule sripts and helper programs is now: /lib/udev/.
+Everything that is not useful on the commandline should go into this
+directory. Some of the helpers in the extras folder are installed there
+now. The rules need to be changed, to find the helpers there.
+
+Also /lib/udev/devices is recommended as a directory where packages or
+the user can place real device nodes, which get copied over to /dev at
+every boot. This should replace the various solutions with custom config
+files.
+
+Udevsend does no longer start the udev daemon. This must be done with
+the init script that prepares /dev on tmpfs and creates the initial nodes,
+before starting the daemon.
+
+udev 075
+========
+Silent a too verbose error logging for the old hotplug.d/ dev.d/
+emulation.
+
+The copy of klibc is removed. A systemwide installed version of klibc
+should be used to build a klibc udev now.
+
+udev 074
+========
+NAME="" will not create any nodes, but execute RUN keys. To completely
+ignore an event the OPTION "ignore_device" should be used.
+
+After removal of the reorder queue, events with a TIMEOUT can be executed
+without any queuing now.
+
+udev 073
+========
+Fixed bug in udevd, if inotify is not available. We depend on netlink
+uevents now, kernels without that event source will not work with that
+version of udev anymore.
+
udev 072
========
The rule parsing happens now in the daemon once at startup, all udev
event processes inherit the already parsed rules from the daemon.
It is shipped with SUSE10.0 and reduces heavily the system load at
-startup.
+startup. The option to save precompiled rules and let the udev process
+pick the them up is removed, as it's no longer needed.
Kernel 2.6.15 will have symlinks at /class/input pointing to the real
device. Libsysfs is changed to "translate" the requested link into the
~ianmdlvl / elogind.git / blobdiff
