The +fix is needed for udisk2 to operate properly. -The udevadm tool moved from /sbin to /usr/bin. Some tools expect -udevadm in 'sbin'. A symlink to udevadm in 'bin' needs to be -manually created if needed. Alternatively --bindir=/sbin installs -udevadm in /sbin. +Fix for skipped rule execution when the kernel has removed the device +node in /dev again, before the event was even started. The fix is needed +to run device-mapper/LVM events properly. -The systemd socket files use PassCred=yes, which requires systemd -version 38. +Fix for the man page installation, which was skipped when xsltproc was not +installed. -The blkid tool is no longer called from udev rules. Udev links directly -to libblkid now. +udev 179 +======== +Bugfix for $name resolution, which broke at least some keymap handling. + +udev 178 +======== +Bugfix for the firmware loading behavior with kernel modules which +try to load firmware in the module_init() path. The blocked event +runs into a timout now, which should allow the firmware to be loaded. + +Bugfix for a wrong DEVNAME= export, which breaks at least the udev-acl +tool. + +Bugfix for missing ID_ properties for GPT partitions. + +The RUN+="socket:.." option is deprecated and should not be used. A warning +during rules parsing is printed now. Services which listen to udev events, +need to subscribe to the netlink messages with libudev and not let udev block +in the rules execution until the message is delivered. + +udev 177 +======== +Bugfix for rule_generator instalation. + +udev 176 +======== +The 'devtmpfs' filesystem is required now, udev will not create or delete +device nodes anymore, it only adjusts permissions and ownership of device +nodes and maintains additional symlinks. + +A writable /run directory (ususally tmpfs) is required now for a fully +functional udev, there is no longer a fallback to /dev/.udev. + +The default 'configure' install locations have changed. Packages for systems +with the historic / vs. /usr split need to be adapted, otherwise udev will +be installed in /usr and not work properly. Example configuration options +to install things the traditional way are in INSTALL. + +The default install location of the 'udevadm' tool moved from 'sbin' +to /usr/bin. Some tools expect udevadm in 'sbin', a symlink to udevadm +needs to be manually created if needed, or --bindir=/sbin be specified. + +The expected value of '--libexecdir=' has changed and must no longer contain +the 'udev' directory. + +Kernel modules are now loaded directly by linking udev to 'libkmod'. The +'modprobe' tool is no longer executed by udev. + +The 'blkid' tool is no longer executed from udev rules. Udev links +directly to libblkid now. + +Firmware is loaded natively by udev now, the external 'firmware' binary +is no longer used. + +All built-in tools can be listed and tested with 'udevadm test-builtin'. + +The 'udevadm control --reload-rules' option has been renamed to '--reload'. +It now also reloads the kernel module configuration. + +The systemd socket files use PassCredentials=yes, which is available in +systemd version 38. The udev build system only creates a .xz tarball now. +All tabs in the source code used for indentation are replaced by spaces now. :) + udev 175 ======== Bugfixes.
