+udev 094
+========
+The built-in MODALIAS key and substitution is removed.
+
+udev 093
+========
+The binary firmware helper is replaced by the usual simple
+shell script. Udevsend is removed from the tree.
+
+udev 092
+========
+Bugfix release.
+
+udev 091
+========
+Some more keys require the correct use of '==' and '=' depending
+on the kind of operation beeing an assignment or a match. Rules
+with invalid operations are skipped and logged to syslog. Please
+test with udevtest if the parsing of your rules throws errors and
+fix possibly broken rules.
+
+udev 090
+========
+Provide "udevsettle" to wait for all current udev events to finish.
+It also watches the current kernel netlink queue by comparing the
+even sequence number to make sure that there are no current pending
+events that have not already arrived in the daemon.
+
+udev 089
+========
+Fix rule to skip persistent rules for removable IDE devices, which
+also skipped optical IDE drives.
+
+All *_id program are installed in /lib/udev/ by default now.
+
+No binary is stripped anymore as this should be done in the
+packaging process and not at build time.
+
+libvolume_id is provided as a shared library now and vol_id is
+linked against it. Also one of the next HAL versions will require
+this library, and the HAL build process will also require the
+header file to be installed. The copy of the same code in HAL will
+be removed to have only a single copy left on the system.
+
+udev 088
+========
+Add persistent links for SCSI tapes. The rules file is renamed
+to 60-persistent-storage.rules.
+
+Create persistent path for usb devices. Can be used for all sorts
+of devices that can't be distinguished by other properties like
+multiple identical keyboards and mice connected to the same box.
+
+Provide "udevtrigger" program to request events on coldplug. The
+shell script is much too slow with thousends of devices.
+
+udev 087
+========
+Fix persistent disk rules to exclude removable IDE drives.
+
+Warn if %e, $modalias or MODALIAS is used.
+
+udev 086
+========
+Fix queue export, which wasn't correct for subsequent add/remove
+events for the same device.
