+udev 125
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Default udev rules, which are not supposed to be edited by the user, should
+be placed in /lib/udev/rules.d/ now, to make it clear that they are private to
+the udev package and will be replaced with an update. Udev will pick up rule
+files from:
+  /lib/udev/rules.d/  - default installed rules
+  /etc/udev/rules.d/  - user rules + on-the-fly generated rules
+  /dev/.udev/rules.d/ - temporary non-persistent rules created after bootup
+It does not matter in which directory a rule file lives, all files are sorted
+in lexical order.
+
+To help creating /dev/root, we have now:
+  $ udevadm info --export --export-prefix="ROOT_" --device-id-of-file=/
+  ROOT_MAJOR=8
+  ROOT_MINOR=5
+In case the current --device-id-of-file is already used, please switch to
+the --export format version, it saves the output parsing and the old
+format will be changed to use ':' as a separator, like the format in the
+sysfs 'dev' file.
+
+udev 124
+========
+Fix cdrom_id to properly recognize blank media.
+
+udev 123
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Tape drive id-data is queried from /dev/bsg/* instead of the tape
+nodes. This avoids rewinding tapes on open().
+
+udev 122
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The symlinks udevcontrol and udevtrigger are no longer installed by
+the Makefile.
+
+The scsi_id program does not depend on sysfs anymore. It can speak
+SGv4 now, so /dev/bsg/* device nodes can be used, to query SCSI device
+data, which should solve some old problems with tape devices, where
+we better do not open all tape device nodes to identify the device.
+
+udev 121
+========
+Many bugfixes.
+
+The cdrom_id program is replaced by an advanced version, which can
+detect most common device types, and also properties of the inserted
+media. This is part of moving some basic functionality from HAL into
+udev (and the kernel).
+
+udev 120
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The last WAIT_FOR_SYSFS rule is removed from the default rules.
+
+The symlinks to udevadm for the debugging tools: udevmonitor and
+udevtest are no longer created.
+
+The symlinks to the udevadm man page for the old tool names are
+no longer created.
+
+Abstract namespace sockets paths in RUN+="socket:@<path>" rules,
+should be prefixed with '@' to indicate that the path is not a
+real file.
+
+udev 119
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+udev 118
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Udevstart is removed from the tree, it did not get installed for
+a long time now, and is long replaced by trigger and settle.
+
+udev 117
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+All udev tools are merged into a single binary called udevadm.
+The old names of the tools are built-in commands in udevadm now.
+Symlinks to udevadm, with the names of the old tools, provide
+the same functionality as the standalone tools. There is also
+only a single udevadm.8 man page left for all tools.
+
+Tools like mkinitramfs should be checked, if they need to include
+udevadm in the list of files.
+
