+udev 120
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The last WAIT_FOR_SYSFS rule is removed from the default rules.
+
+The symlinks to udevadm for the debugging tools: udevmonitor and
+udevtest are no longer created.
+
+The symlinks to the udevadm man page for the old tool names are
+no longer created.
+
+Abstract namespace sockets paths in RUN+="socket:@<path>" rules,
+should be prefixed with '@' to indicate that the path is not a
+real file.
+
+udev 119
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+udev 118
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Udevstart is removed from the tree, it did not get installed for
+a long time now, and is long replaced by trigger and settle.
+
+udev 117
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+All udev tools are merged into a single binary called udevadm.
+The old names of the tools are built-in commands in udevadm now.
+Symlinks to udevadm, with the names of the old tools, provide
+the same functionality as the standalone tools. There is also
+only a single udevadm.8 man page left for all tools.
+
+Tools like mkinitramfs should be checked, if they need to include
+udevadm in the list of files.
+
+udev 116
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+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.
+
+udev 113
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Final merge of patches/features from the Ubuntu package.
+
+udev 112
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Control characters in filesystem label strings are no longer silenty
+removed, but hex-encoded, to be able to uniquely identify the device
+by its symlink in /dev/disk/by-label/.
+If libvolume_id is used by mount(8), LABEL= will work as expected,
+if slashes or other characters are used in the label string.
+
+To test the existence of a file, TEST=="<file>" and TEST!="<file>"
+can be specified now. The TEST key accepts an optional mode mask
+TEST{0100}=="<is executable file>".
+
+Scsi_id now supports a mode without expecting scsi-specific sysfs
+entries to allow the extraction of cciss-device persistent properties.
+
+udev 111
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+In the future, we may see uuid's which are just simple character
+strings (see the DDF Raid Specification). For that reason vol_id now
+exports ID_FS_UUID_SAFE, just like ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE. For things like
+the creation of symlinks, the *_SAFE values ensure, that no control
+or whitespace characters are used in the filename.
+
+Possible users of libvolume_id, please use the volume_id_get_* functions.
+The public struct will go away in a future release of the library.
+
+udev 110
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Removal of useless extras/eventrecorder.sh.
+
+udev 109
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+udev 108
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The directory multiplexer for dev.d/ and hotplug.d are finally removed
+from the udev package.
+
+udev 107
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Symlinks can have priorities now, the priority is assigned to the device
+and specified with OPTIONS="link_priority=100". Devices with higher
+priorities overwrite the symlinks of devices with lower priorities.
+If the device that currently owns the link, goes away, the symlink
+will be removed, and recreated, pointing to the next device with the
+highest actual priority. This should make /dev/disk/by-{label,uuid,id}
+more reliable, if multiple devices contain the same metadata and overwrite
+these symlinks.
+
+The dasd_id program is removed from the udev tree, and dasdinfo, with the
+needed rules, are part of the s390-tools now.
+
+Please add KERNEL=="[0-9]*:[0-9]*" to the scsi wait-for-sysfs rule,
+we may get the scsi sysfs mess fixed some day, and this will only catch
+the devices we are looking for.
+
+USB serial numbers for storage devices have the target:lun now appended,
+to make it possibble to distinguish broken multi-lun devices with all
+the same SCSI identifiers.
+
+Note: The extra "run_directory" which searches and executes stuff in
+/etc/hotplug.d/ and /etc/dev.d/ is long deprecated, and will be removed
+with the next release. Make sure, that you don't use it anymore, or
+provides your own implementation of that inefficient stuff.
+We are tired of reports about a "slow udev", because these directories
+contain stuff, that runs with _every_ event, instead of using rules,
+that run programs only for the matching events.

+udev 105
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+DRIVER== will match only for devices that actually have a real
+driver. DRIVERS== must be used, if parent devices should be
+included in the match.
+
+Libvolume_id's "linux_raid" detection needed another fix.
+
+udev 104
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+udev 103
+========
+Add additional check to volume_id detection of via_raid, cause
+some company decided to put a matching pattern all over the empty
+storage area of their music players.
+
+udev 102
+========
+Fix path_id for SAS devices.
+
+udev 101
+========
+The udev daemon can be started with --debug-trace now, which will
+execute all events serialized to get a chance to catch a possible
+action that crashes the box.
+
+A warning is logged, if PHYSDEV* keys, the "device" link, or a parent
+device attribute like $attr{../file} is used, only WAIT_FOR_SYSFS rules
+are excluded from the warning. Referencing parent attributes directly
+may break when something in the kernel driver model changes. Udev will
+just find the attribute by walking up the parent chain.
+
+Udevtrigger now sorts the list of devices depending on the device
+dependency, so a "usb" device is triggered after the parent "pci"
+device.
