This reduces +pressure on the CPU significantly because cloned event processes no longer +cause page faults in the main daemon. After the events have settled, a few +worker processes stay around for future events, all others get cleaned up. + +To be able to use signalfd(), udev depends on kernel version 2.6.25 now. +Also inotify support is required now to run udev. + The format of the queue exported by the udev damon has changed. There is -no longer a /dev/.udev/queue/ directory. The queue can be accessed with -udevadm settle and libudedv. +no longer a /dev/.udev/queue/ directory.

From now on, +incompatible changes will be handled by bumping the library major version. udev 142 ========
