The RUN +option "ignore_error" is replaced by a "fail_event_on_error" option, and the +default is not to track any failing RUN executions. + +New keymaps, new modem, hid2hci updated. + +udev 145 +======== +Fix possible crash in udevd when worker processes are busy, rules are +changed at the same time, and workers get killed to reload the rules. + +udev 144 +======== +Bugfixes. + +Properties set with ENV{.FOO}="bar" are marked private by starting the +name with a '.'. They will not be stored in the database, and not be +exported with the event. + +Firmware files are looked up in: + /lib/firmware/updates/$(uname -r) + /lib/firmware/updates + /lib/firmware/$(uname -r) + /lib/firmware" +now. + +ATA devices switched the property from ID_BUS=scsi to ID_BUS=ata. +ata_id, instead of scsi_id, is the default tool now for ATA devices. + +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/ + +The tools from 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. + udev 142 ======== Bugfixes.
