+udev 147
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+To support DEVPATH strings larger than the maximum file name length, the
+private udev database format has changed. If some software still reads the
+private files in /dev/.udev/, which it shouldn't, now it's time to fix it.
+Please do not port anything to the new format again, everything in /dev/.udev
+is and always was private to udev, and may and will change any time without
+prior notice.
+
+Multiple devices claiming the same names in /dev are limited to symlinks
+only now. Mixing identical symlink names and node names is not supported.
+This reduces the amount of data in the database significantly.
+
+NAME="%k" causes a warning now. It's is and always was completely superfluous.
+It will break kernel supplied DEVNAMEs and therefore it needs to be removed
+from all rules.
+
+Most NAME= instructions got removed. Kernel 2.6.31 supplies the needed names
+if they are not the default. To support older kernels, the NAME= rules need to
+be added to the compat rules file.
+
+Symlinks to udevadm with the old command names are no longer resolved to
+the udevadm commands.
