For that reason vol_id now +exports ID_UUID_SAFE, just like ID_LABEL_SAFE. For things like +the creation of symlinks, the *_SAFE values ensure, that no control +or whitespace characters are used in the filename. + +Possible users of libvolume_id, please use the volume_id_get_* functions. +The public struct will go away in a future release of the library. + +udev 110 +======== +Bugfixes. + +Removal of useless extras/eventrecorder.sh. + +udev 109 +======== +Bugfixes. + +udev 108 +======== +Bugfixes. + +The directory multiplexer for dev.d/ and hotplug.d are finally removed +from the udev package. + +udev 107 +======== +Bugfixes. + +Symlinks can have priorities now, the priority is assigned to the device +and specified with OPTIONS="link_priority=100". Devices with higher +priorities overwrite the symlinks of devices with lower priorities. +If the device that currently owns the link, goes away, the symlink +will be removed, and recreated, pointing to the next device with the +highest actual priority. This should make /dev/disk/by-{label,uuid,id} +more reliable, if multiple devices contain the same metadata and overwrite +these symlinks. + +The dasd_id program is removed from the udev tree, and dasdinfo, with the +needed rules, are part of the s390-tools now. + +Please add KERNEL=="[0-9]*:[0-9]*" to the scsi wait-for-sysfs rule, +we may get the scsi sysfs mess fixed some day, and this will only catch +the devices we are looking for. + +USB serial numbers for storage devices have the target:lun now appended, +to make it possibble to distinguish broken multi-lun devices with all +the same SCSI identifiers. + +Note: The extra "run_directory" which searches and executes stuff in +/etc/hotplug.d/ and /etc/dev.d/ is long deprecated, and will be removed +with the next release. Make sure, that you don't use it anymore, or +provides your own implementation of that inefficient stuff. +We are tired of reports about a "slow udev", because these directories +contain stuff, that runs with _every_ event, instead of using rules, +that run programs only for the matching events. + +udev 106 +======== +Bugfixes. + udev 105 ======== -Bugfixes.
