+The PLACE= key is gone. It can be replaced by an ID= for a long time, cause
 we walk up the chain of physical devices to find a match.
 
+The KEY="<value>" format supports '=', '==', '!=,' , '+=' now. This makes it
+easy to skip certain attribute matches without composing rules with weird
+character class negations like:
+  KERNEL="[!s][!c][!d]*"
+this can now be replaced with:
+  KERNEL!="scd*"
+The current simple '=' is still supported, and should work as it does today,
+but existing rules should be converted if possible, to be better readable.

+We have new ENV{}== key now, to match against a maximum of 5 environment
+variables.
