+udev 166
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+New and updated keymaps.
+
+udev 165
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The udev database has changed, After installation of a new udev
+version, 'udevadm info --convert-db' should be called, to let the new
+udev/libudev version read the already stored data.
+
+udevadm now supports quoting of property values, and prefixing of
+key names:
+  $ udevadm info --export --export-prefix=MY_ --query=property -n sda
+  MY_MAJOR='259'
+  MY_MINOR='0'
+  MY_DEVNAME='/dev/sda'
+  MY_DEVTYPE='disk'
+  ...
+
+libudev now supports:
+  udev_device_get_is_initialized()
+  udev_enumerate_add_match_is_initialized()
+to be able to skip devices the kernel has created , but udev has
+not already handled.
+
+libudev now supports:
+  udev_device_get_usec_since_initialized()
+to retrieve the "age" of a udev device record.
+
+GUdev supports a more generic GUdevEnumerator class, udev TAG
+handling, device initialization and timestamp now.
+
+The counterpart of /sys/dev/{char,block}/$major:$minor,
+/dev/{char,block}/$major:$minor symlinks are now unconditionally
+created, even when no rule files exist.
+
+New and updated keymaps.

+
+Persistent network naming rules are disabled inside of Qemu/KVM now.
+
+New and updated keymaps.
+
+Udev gets unconditionally enabled on systemd installations now. There
+is no longer the need to to run 'systemctl enable udev.service'.

+
+udev 158
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+All distribution specific rules are removed from the udev source tree,
+most of them are no longer needed. The Gentoo rules which allow to support
+older kernel versions, which are not covered by the default rules anymore
+has moved to rules/misc/30-kernel-compat.rules.
+
+udev 157
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The option --debug-trace and the environemnt variable UDEVD_MAX_CHILDS=
+was removed from udevd.
+
+Udevd now checks the kernel commandline for the following variables:
+  udev.log-priority=<syslog priority>
+  udev.children-max=<maximum number of workers>
+  udev.exec-delay=<seconds to delay the execution of RUN=>
+to help debuging coldplug setups where the loading of a kernel
+module crashes the system.
+
+The subdirectory in the source tree rules/packages has been renamed to
+rules/arch, anc contains only architecture specific rules now.
+
+udev 156
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+udev 155
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Now the udev daemon itself, does on startup:
+  - copy the content of /lib/udev/devices to /dev
+  - create the standard symlinks like /dev/std{in,out,err},
+    /dev/core, /dev/fd, ...
+  - use static node information provided by kernel modules
+    and creates these nodes to allow module on-demand loading
+  - possibly apply permissions to all ststic nodes from udev
+    rules which are annotated to match a static node
+
+The default mode for a device node is 0600 now to match the kernel
+created devtmpfs defaults. If GROUP= is specified and no MODE= is
+given the default will be 0660.
+
+udev 154
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Udev now gradually starts to pass control over the primary device nodes
+and their names to the kernel, and will in the end only manage the
+permissions of the node, and possibly create additional symlinks.
+As a first step NAME="" will be ignored, and NAME= setings with names
+other than the kernel provided name will result in a logged warning.
+Kernels that don't provide device names, or devtmpfs is not used, will
+still work as they did before, but it is strongly recommended to use
+only the same names for the primary device node as the recent kernel
+provides for all devices.

+Fix broken firmware loader search path.
