-udev 168
+udev 181
+========
+The udev-acl tool is no longer provided, it will be part of a future
+ConsoleKit release. On systemd systems, advanced ConsoleKit and udev-acl
+functionality are provided by systemd.
+
+
+udev 181
+========
+Require kmod version 5.
+
+Provide /dev/cdrom symlink for /dev/sr0.
+
+udev 180
+========
+Fix for ID_PART_ENTRY_* property names, added by the blkid built-in. The
+fix is needed for udisk2 to operate properly.
+
+Fix for skipped rule execution when the kernel has removed the device
+node in /dev again, before the event was even started. The fix is needed
+to run device-mapper/LVM events properly.
+
+Fix for the man page installation, which was skipped when xsltproc was not
+installed.
+
+udev 179
+========
+Bugfix for $name resolution, which broke at least some keymap handling.
+
+udev 178
+========
+Bugfix for the firmware loading behavior with kernel modules which
+try to load firmware in the module_init() path. The blocked event
+runs into a timout now, which should allow the firmware to be loaded.
+
+Bugfix for a wrong DEVNAME= export, which breaks at least the udev-acl
+tool.
+
+Bugfix for missing ID_ properties for GPT partitions.
+
+The RUN+="socket:.." option is deprecated and should not be used. A warning
+during rules parsing is printed now. Services which listen to udev events,
+need to subscribe to the netlink messages with libudev and not let udev block
+in the rules execution until the message is delivered.
+
+udev 177
+========
+Bugfix for rule_generator instalation.
+
+udev 176
+========
+The 'devtmpfs' filesystem is required now, udev will not create or delete
+device nodes anymore, it only adjusts permissions and ownership of device
+nodes and maintains additional symlinks.
+
+A writable /run directory (ususally tmpfs) is required now for a fully
+functional udev, there is no longer a fallback to /dev/.udev.
+
+The default 'configure' install locations have changed. Packages for systems
+with the historic / vs. /usr split need to be adapted, otherwise udev will
+be installed in /usr and not work properly. Example configuration options
+to install things the traditional way are in INSTALL.
+
+The default install location of the 'udevadm' tool moved from 'sbin'
+to /usr/bin. Some tools expect udevadm in 'sbin', a symlink to udevadm
+needs to be manually created if needed, or --bindir=/sbin be specified.
+
+The expected value of '--libexecdir=' has changed and must no longer contain
+the 'udev' directory.
+
+Kernel modules are now loaded directly by linking udev to 'libkmod'. The
+'modprobe' tool is no longer executed by udev.
+
+The 'blkid' tool is no longer executed from udev rules. Udev links
+directly to libblkid now.
+
+Firmware is loaded natively by udev now, the external 'firmware' binary
+is no longer used.
+
+All built-in tools can be listed and tested with 'udevadm test-builtin'.
+
+The 'udevadm control --reload-rules' option has been renamed to '--reload'.
+It now also reloads the kernel module configuration.
+
+The systemd socket files use PassCredentials=yes, which is available in
+systemd version 38.
+
+The udev build system only creates a .xz tarball now.
+
+All tabs in the source code used for indentation are replaced by spaces now. :)

+udev 175
========
Bugfixes.
-warning if /run is not writable.
+udev 174
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The udev daemon moved to /lib/udev/udevd. Non-systemd init systems
+and non-dracut initramfs image generators need to change the init
+scripts. Alternatively the udev build needs to move udevd back to
+/sbin or create a symlink in /sbin, which is not done by default.
+
+The path_id, usb_id, input_id tools are built-in commands now and
+the stand-alone tools do not exist anymore. Static lists of file in
+initramfs generators need to be updated. For testing, the commands
+can still be executed standalone with 'udevadm test-builtin <cmd>'.
+
+The fusectl filesystem is no longer mounted directly from udev.
+Systemd systems will take care of mounting fusectl and configfs
+now. Non-systemd systems need to ship their own rule if they
+need these filesystems auto-mounted.
+
+The long deprecated keys: SYSFS=, ID=, BUS= have been removed.
+
+The support for 'udevadm trigger --type=failed, and the
+RUN{fail_event_on_error} attribute was removed.
+
+The udev control socket is now created in /run/udev/control
+and no longer as an abstract namespace one.
+
+The rules to create persistent network interface and cdrom link
+rules automatically in /etc/udev/rules.d/ have been disabled by
+default. Explicit configuration will be required for these use
+cases, udev will no longer try to write any persistent system
+configuration from a device hotplug path.
+
+udev 173
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The udev-acl extra is no longer enabled by default now. To enable it,
+--enable-udev_acl needs to be given at ./configure time. On systemd
+systems, the udev-acl rules prevent it from running as the functionality
+has moved to systemd.
+
+udev 172
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Udev now enables kernel media-presence polling if available. Part
+of udisks optical drive tray-handling moved to cdrom_id: The tray
+is locked as soon as a media is detected to enable the receiving
+of media-eject-request events. Media-eject-request events will
+eject the media.
-udevadm control --exit
+Libudev enumerate is now able to enumerate a subtree of a given
+device.
+
+The mobile-action-modeswitch modeswitch tool was deleted. The
+functionality is provided by usb_modeswitch now.
+
+udev 171
+========
+Bugfixes.
-udevadm info --cleanup-db
+The systemd service files require systemd version 28. The systemd
+socket activation make it possible now to start 'udevd' and 'udevadm
+trigger' in parallel.
+
+udev 170
+========
+Fix bug in control message handling, which can lead to a failing
+udevadm control --exit. Thanks to Jürg Billeter for help tracking
+it down.
+
+udev 169
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+We require at least Linux kernel 2.6.32 now. Some platforms might
+require a later kernel that supports accept4() and similar, or
+need to backport the trivial syscall wiring to the older kernels.
+
+The hid2hci tool moved to the bluez package and was removed.
+
+Many of the extras can be --enable/--disabled at ./configure
+time. The --disable-extras option was removed. Some extras have
+been disabled by default. The current options and their defaults
+can be checked with './configure --help'.
+
+udev 168
+========
+Bugfixes.
-systemd netlink socket activation
-stop socket or mask on rpm update
-requires systemd 25
+Udev logs a warning now if /run is not writable at udevd
+startup. It will still fall back to /dev/.udev, but this is
+now considered a bug.
+
+The running udev daemon can now cleanly shut down with:
+ udevadm control --exit
+
+Udev in initramfs should clean the state of the udev database
+with: udevadm info --cleanup-db which will remove all state left
+behind from events/rules in initramfs. If initramfs uses
+--cleanup-db and device-mapper/LVM, the rules in initramfs need
+to add OPTIONS+="db_persist" for all dm devices. This will
+prevent removal of the udev database for these devices.
+
+Spawned programs by PROGRAM/IMPORT/RUN now have a hard timeout of
+120 seconds per process. If that timeout is reached the spawned
+process will be killed. The event timeout can be overwritten with
+udev rules.
+
+If systemd is used, udev gets now activated by netlink data.
+Systemd will bind the netlink socket which will buffer all data.
+If needed, such setup allows a seemless update of the udev daemon,
+where no event can be lost during a udevd update/restart.
+Packages need to make sure to: systemctl stop udev.socket udev.service
+or 'mask' udev.service during the upgrade to prevent any unwanted
+auto-spawning of udevd.
+This version of udev conflicts with systemd version below 25. The
+unchanged service files will not wirk correctly.
