- o enumerate() - add buses and drivers
- o increase ressize buffer
- o lazy loading of "uevent" and db
- o add DVB variables to kernel, and drop shell script rule
- o add watershed extra
- o lazy init of selinux
- o replace list.h with ccan list.h which is gpl-v2-or-later version
- o get all distros to agree on a default set of rules
- o rework rules to a match-action list, instead of a rules array
- o log warning if the kernel uses CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED*=y,
- which means that /sys/class/block/ does not exist, but udev
- will depend on it in a future release
- o DEVTYPE for disks is set by the kernel, they will be removed from
- the default rules
- o "udevadm control" commands will only accept the --<command> syntax
+ o drop support for node names in name stack, support only symlinks
+ With well defined and kernel-supplied node names, we no longer need
+ to support a possible stack of conflicting symlinks and node names.
+ From there on, only symlinks with identical names can be claimed
+ by multiple devices. It will simplify the logic a lot and shrink
+ /dev/.udev/names/ significantly. Also exclude "*/MAJ:MIN" link names
+ from the name stack, they can not conflict.
+ o remove most NAME= rules (they are provided by the 2.6.31 kernel)
+ o get rid of braindead "scan all devices to find myself" libusb interface
+ if it can not be fixed, drop libusb entirely
+ o convert firmware.sh to C
+
o symlink names to udevadm will no longer be resolved to old command names
+ o "udevadm control" commands will only accept the --<command> syntax
+ o drop all support for the DEPRECATED sysfs layout
+ o add warning for BUS, SYSFS, ID
