+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+All udev tools are merged into a single binary called udevadm now.
+The old names of the binary are commands for udevadm now. Symlinks
+provide the functionality of the standalone tools. There is only a
+single udevadm.8 man page for all tools left.

+udev 115
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The etc/udev/rules.d/ directory now contains a default set of basic
+udev rules. This initial version is the result of a rules file merge
+of Fedora and openSUSE. For these both distros only a few specific
+rules are left in their own file, named after the distro. Rules which
+are optionally installed, because they are only valid for a specific
+architecture, or rules for subsystems which are not always used are
+in etc/udev/packages/.
+
+udev 114
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Dynamic rules can be created in /dev/.udev/rules.d/ to trigger
+actions by dynamically created rules.
+
+SYMLINK=="<value>" matches agains the entries in the list of
+currently defined symlinks. The links are not created in the
+filesystem at that point in time, but the values can be matched.
+
+RUN{ignore_error}+="<program>" will ignore any exit code from the
+program and not record as a failed event.
