 Major changes since the last release:
 
-       - Changes to work with libsysfs 0.4.0
+       - Support block device partitions
 
-All changes:
+       - Added a script to auto-generate udev rules. The script is not
+         installed but is part of the tarball.
 
-       - fix "prefix" usage for path to scsi_id.config
+Detailed changes:
 
-       - install the sample scsi_id.config file.
+       - Add man page verbage about usage with udev, and running via
+         hotplug
 
-       - Use DESTDIR in all install/uninstall rules, per problem reported
-         by Svetoslav Slavtchev.
+       - Disable support for -e (all output to stderr) as it cannot be
+         used in any useful way, and the -c (device specific callout) as
+         the code is incomplete and has no users.
 
-       - Fix to work with current sysfs 0.4, based on patch from Dan
-         Stekloff, but uses sysfs_read_attribute_value instead of
-         sysfs_get_value_from_attributes.
+       - Don't print errno for NULL return from sysfs_get_classdev_device.
 
-       - SYSFS_BUS_DIR was replaced with SYSFS_BUS_NAME.
+       - Get rid of dead/leftover code that checked if we are on a scsi
+         bus.
 
-       - Must now use sysfs_open_class_device_path instead of the
-         previous sysfs_open_class_device.
+       - ":" consistently in output messages.
 
-       - patch from Olaf Hering <olh@suse.de> remove DEBUG and
-         add --fno-builtin
+       - Add missing new lines for some error messages.
+
+       - open O_NONBLOCK so we handle tape drives without tapes loaded.
+
+       - Remove hacks based on KLIBC define to get around problems when
+         building with udev (udev libsysfs files were rearranged).
+
+       - As done in udev code, support partitions via looking for a
+         parent of the target path. Uses libsysfs functions to do most of
+         the work, and includes changing a lot of variables to be struct
+         sysfs_device instead of sysfs_class_device.
