+udev 081
+========
+Prepare udev to work with the experimental kernel patch, that moves
+/sys/class devices to /sys/devices and /sys/block to /sys/class/block.
+
+Clarify BUS, ID, $id usage and fix $id behavior. This prepares for
+moving the class devices to /sys/devices.
+
+Thanks again to Marco for help finding a hopefully nice compromise
+to make %b simpler and working again.
+
+udev 080
+========
+Complete removal of libsysfs, replaced by simple helper functions
+which are much simpler and a bit faster. The udev daemon operatesentirely
+on event parameters and does not use sysfs for simple rules anymore.
+Please report any new bugs/problems, that may be caused by this big
+change. They will be fixed immediately.
+
+The enumeration format character '%e' is deprecated and will be
+removed sometimes from a future udev version. It never worked correctly
+outside of udevstart, so we can't use it with the new parallel
+coldplug. A simple enumeration is as useless as the devfs naming
+scheme, just get rid of both if you still use it.
+
+MODALIAS and $modalias is not needed and will be removed from one of
+the next udev versions, replace it in all rules with ENV{MODALIAS} or
+the sysfs "modalias" value.
+
+Thanks a lot to Marco for all his help on finding and fixing bugs.
+
+udev 079
+========
+Let scsi_id request libata drive serial numbers from page 0x80.
+
+Renamed etc/udev/persistent.rules to persistent-disk.rules and
+added /dev/disk/by-name/* for device mapper device names.
+
+Removed %e from the man page. It never worked reliably outside
+of udevstart and udevstart is no longer recommended to use.
+
+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
