udev 055 ======== We support an unlimited count of symlinks now. If USE_STATIC=true is passed to a glibc build, we link statically and use a built-in userdb parser to resolve user and group names. The PLACE= key is gone. It can be replaced by an ID= for a long time, cause we walk up the chain of physical devices to find a match. The KEY="" format supports '=', '==', '!=,' , '+=' now. This makes it easy to skip certain attribute matches without composing rules with weird character class negations like: KERNEL="[!s][!c][!d]*" this can now be replaced with: KERNEL!="scd*" The current simple '=' is still supported, and should work as it does today, but existing rules should be converted if possible, to be better readable. We have new ENV{}== key now, to match against a maximum of 5 environment variables. udevstart is its own binary again, cause we don't need co carry this araound with every forked event.
