To completely +ignore an event the OPTION "ignore_device" should be used. + +After removal of the reorder queue, events with a TIMEOUT can be executed +without any queuing now. + +udev 073 +======== +Fixed bug in udevd, if inotify is not available. We depend on netlink +uevents now, kernels without that event source will not work with that +version of udev anymore. + +udev 072 +======== +The rule parsing happens now in the daemon once at startup, all udev +event processes inherit the already parsed rules from the daemon. +It is shipped with SUSE10.0 and reduces heavily the system load at +startup. The option to save precompiled rules and let the udev process +pick the them up is removed, as it's no longer needed. + +Kernel 2.6.15 will have symlinks at /class/input pointing to the real +device. Libsysfs is changed to "translate" the requested link into the +real device path, as it would happen with the hotplug event. Otherwise +device removal and the udev database will not work. + +Using 'make STRIPCMD=' will leave the binaries unstripped for debugging +and packaging. + +A few improvements for vol_id, the filesytem probing code. + +udev 071 +======== +Fix a stupid typo in extras/run_directory for "make install". + +scsi_id creates the temporary devnode now in /dev for usage with a +non-writable /tmp directory. + +The uevent kernel socket buffer can carry app. 50.000 events now, +let's see who can break this again. :) + +The upcoming kernel will have a new input driver core integration. +Some class devices are now symlinks to the real device. libsysfs +needs a fix for this to work correctly. Udevstart of older udev +versions will _not_ create these devices! + +udev 070 +======== +Fix a 'install' target in the Makefile, that prevents EXTRAS from +beeing installed. + +udev 069 +======== +A bunch of mostly trivial bugfixes. From now on no node name or +symlink name can contain any character than plain whitelisted ascii +characters or validated utf8 byte-streams. This is needed for the +/dev/disk/by-label/* links, cause we import untrusted data and +export it to the filesystem. + udev 068 ======== More bugfixes. If udevd was started from the kernel, we don't
