+udev 076
+========
+All built-in logic to work around bad sysfs timing is removed with this
+version. The need to wait for sysfs files is almost fixed with a kernel
+version that doesn't work with this udev version anyway. Until we fix
+the timing of the "bus" link creation, the former integrated logic should
+be emulated by a rule placed before all other rules:
+  ACTION=="add", DEVPATH=="/devices/*", ENV{PHYSDEVBUS}=="?*", WAIT_FOR_SYSFS="bus"
+
+The option "udev_db" does no longer exist. All udev state will always
+be in /$udev_root/.udev/ now, there is no longer an option to set this
+to anything else.
+
+Default location for rule sripts and helper programs is now: /lib/udev/.
+Everything that is not useful on the commandline should go into this
+directory. Also /lib/udev/devices/ is recommended as a directory where
+packages or the user can place real device nodes, which get copied over
+to /dev at every boot. This should replace the various solutions with
+custom config files.
+
+Udevsend does no longer start the udev daemon. This must be done with
+the init script that prepares /dev on tmpfs and creates the initial nodes,
+before starting the daemon.
+
+udev 075
+========
+Silent a too verbose error logging for the old hotplug.d/ dev.d/
+emulation.
+
+The copy of klibc is removed. A systemwide installed version of klibc
+should be used to build a klibc udev now.
+
+udev 074
+========
+NAME="" will not create any nodes, but execute RUN keys. To completely
+ignore an event the OPTION "ignore_device" should be used.
+
+After removal of the reorder queue, events with a TIMEOUT can be executed
+without any queuing now.
+
+udev 073
+========
+Fixed bug in udevd, if inotify is not available. We depend on netlink
+uevents now, kernels without that event source will not work with that
+version of udev anymore.
+
+udev 072
+========
+The rule parsing happens now in the daemon once at startup, all udev
+event processes inherit the already parsed rules from the daemon.
+It is shipped with SUSE10.0 and reduces heavily the system load at
+startup. The option to save precompiled rules and let the udev process
+pick the them up is removed, as it's no longer needed.
+
+Kernel 2.6.15 will have symlinks at /class/input pointing to the real
+device. Libsysfs is changed to "translate" the requested link into the
+real device path, as it would happen with the hotplug event. Otherwise
+device removal and the udev database will not work.
+
+Using 'make STRIPCMD=' will leave the binaries unstripped for debugging
+and packaging.
+
+A few improvements for vol_id, the filesytem probing code.
+
+udev 071
+========
+Fix a stupid typo in extras/run_directory for "make install".
+
+scsi_id creates the temporary devnode now in /dev for usage with a
+non-writable /tmp directory.
+
+The uevent kernel socket buffer can carry app. 50.000 events now,
+let's see who can break this again. :)
+
+The upcoming kernel will have a new input driver core integration.
+Some class devices are now symlinks to the real device. libsysfs
+needs a fix for this to work correctly. Udevstart of older udev
+versions will _not_ create these devices!
+
+udev 070
+========
+Fix a 'install' target in the Makefile, that prevents EXTRAS from
+beeing installed.
+
+udev 069
+========
+A bunch of mostly trivial bugfixes. From now on no node name or
+symlink name can contain any character than plain whitelisted ascii
+characters or validated utf8 byte-streams. This is needed for the
+/dev/disk/by-label/* links, cause we import untrusted data and
+export it to the filesystem.
+
+udev 068
+========
+More bugfixes. If udevd was started from the kernel, we don't
+have stdin/stdout/stderr, which broke the forked tools in some
+situations.
+
+udev 067
+========
+Bugfix. udevstart event ordering was broken for a long time.
+The new run_program() uncovered it, cause /dev/null was not
+available while we try to run external programs.
+Now udevstart should create it before we run anything.
+
 udev 066
 ========
 Minor bugfixes and some distro rules updates. If you don't have the
