+udev 143
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The configure options have changed because another library needs to be
+installed in a different location. Instead of exec_prefix and udev_prefix,
+libdir, rootlibdir and libexecdir are used. The Details are explained in
+the README file.
+
+Event processes now get re-used after they handled an event. This reduces
+the number of forks and the 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 mandatory 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.
+
+To build udev from the git tree gtk-doc is needed now. The tarballs will
+build without it and contain the pre-built documentation. An online copy
+is available here:
+  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/libudev/
+
+Many extras of the udev-extras repository have been merged into the main
+udev repository. Some of the extras have larger external dependencies, and
+they can be disabled with the configure switch --disable-extras.
