 systemd System and Service Manager
 
 CHANGES WITH 182:
-        * udev sources merged
+        * udev: all udev sources are merged into the systemd source tree now.
+          All future udev development will happen in the systemd tree. It
+          is still fully supported to use the udev daemon and tools without
+          systemd running, like in initramfs or other init systems. Building
+          udev though, will require the *build* of the systemd tree, but
+          udev can be properly *run* without systems.
+
+        * udev: /lib/udev/devices/ are not read anymore; systemd-tmpfiles
+          should be used to create dead device nodes as workarounds for broken
+          subsystems.
+
+        * udev: RUN+="socket:..."  and udev_monitor_new_from_socket() is
+          no longer supported. udev_monitor_new_from_netlink() needs to be
+          used to subscribe to events.
+
+        * udev: when udevd is started by systemd, processes which are left
+          behind by forking them off of udev rules, are unconditionally cleaned
+          up and killed now after the event handling has finished. Services or
+          daemons must be started as systemd services. Services can be
+          pulled-in by udev to ge started, but they can no longer be directly
+          forked by udev rules.
+
+        * udev: the daemon binary is called systemd-udevd now and installed
+          in /usr/lib/systemd/. Standalone builds or non-systemd systems need
+          to adapt to that, create symlink, or rename the binary after building
+          it.
+
+        * Libudev does no longer provide these symbols:
+            udev_monitor_from_socket()
+            udev_queue_get_failed_list_entry()
+            udev_get_{dev,sys,run}_path()
+          The verions number was bumped and symbol versioning introduced.
 
         * systemd-logingctl and systemd-journalctl have been renamed
           to logingctl and journalctl to match systemctl.
