+udev 142
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+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
+users over to directly use libudev, or for higher-level services use the
+specialized D-Bus interface of a DeviceKit service.
+    Libudev is still marked as experimental, and its interface might
+change if needed, but no major changes of the currently exported interface
+are expected anymore, and a first stable release should happen soon.
+
+A too old kernel (2.6.21) or a kernel with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED
+is not supported since while and udevd will log an error message at
+startup.
+
+DVB device naming is supplied by the kernel now. In case older kernels
+need to be supported, the old shell script should be added to a compat
+rules file.
+
+udev 141
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The processed udev events get send back to the netlink socket. Libudev
+provides access to these events. This is work-in-progress, to replace
+the DeviceKit daemon functionality directly with libudev. There are
+upcoming kernel changes to allow non-root users to subcribe to these
+events.
+
 udev 140
 ========
 Bugfixes.
 
+"udevadm settle" now optionally accepts a range of events to wait for,
+instead of waiting for "all" events.
+
 udev 139
 ========
 Bugfixes.
