+udev 143
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Event processes now get re-used after they handled an event. This reduces
+pressure on the CPU significantly because cloned event processes no longer
+cause page faults in the main daemon. After the events have settled, a few
+worker processes stay around for future events, all others get cleaned up.
+
+To be able to use signalfd(), udev depends on kernel version 2.6.25 now.
+Also inotify support is required now to run udev.
+
+The format of the queue exported by the udev damon has changed. There is
+no longer a /dev/.udev/queue/ directory. The current event queue can be
+accessed with udevadm settle and libudedv.
+
+Libudev does not have the unstable API header anymore. From now on,
+incompatible changes will be handled by bumping the library major version.

 Libudev allows to subscribe to udev events. To prevent unwanted messages
 to be delivered, and waking up the subscribing process, a filter can be
 installed, to drop messages inside a kernel socket filter. The filters
 match on the <subsytem>:<devtype> properties of the device.
     This is part of the ongoing effort to replace HAL, and switch current
