+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.
+
+udev 085
+========
+Fix cramfs detection on big endian.
+
+Make WAIT_FOR_SYSFS usable in "normal" rules and silent if the whole
+device goes away.
