+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Kernel devices and device nodes are connected now by reverse indizes in
+/sys and /dev. A device number retrieved by a stat() or similar, the
+kernel device directory can be found by looking up:
+  /sys/dev/{block,char}/<maj>:<min>
+and the device node of the same device by looking up:
+  /dev/{block,char}/<maj>:<min>
+
+udev 129
+========
+Fix recently introduced bug, which caused a compilation without large
+file support, where vol_id does not recognize raid signatures at the end
+of a volume.
+
+Firewire disks now create both, by-id/scsi-* and by-id/ieee-* links.
+Seems some kernel versions prevent the creation of the ieee-* links,
+so people used the scsi-* link which disappeared now.
+
+More libudev work. Almost all udevadm functionality comes from libudev
+now.
+
+udevadm trigger has a new option --type, which allows to trigger events
+for "devices", for "subsystems", or "failed" devices. The old option
+--retry-failed" still works, but is no longer mentioned in the man page.
+
+udev 128
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The udevadm info --device-id-of-file= output has changed to use
+the obvious format. Possible current users should use the --export
+option which is not affected.
+
+The old udev commands symlinks to udevadm are not installed, if
+these symlinks are used, a warning is printed.
+
+udev 127
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Optical drive's media is no longer probed for raid signatures,
+reading the end of the device causes some devices to malfunction.
+Also the offset of the last session found is used now to probe
+for the filesystem.
+
+The volume_id library got a major version number update to 1,
+some deprecated functions are removed.
+
+A shared library "libudev" gets installed now to provide access
+to udev device information. DeviceKit, the successor of HAL, will
+need this library to access the udev database and search sysfs for
+devices.
+The library is currently in an experimental state, also the API is
+expected to change, as long as the DeviceKit integration is not
+finished.
