+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The udev runtime data moved from /dev/.udev/ to /run/udev/. The
+/run mountpoint is supposed to be a tmpfs mounted during early boot,
+available and writable to for all tools at any time during bootup,
+it replaces /var/run/, which should become a symlink some day.
+
+If /run does not exist, or is not writable, udev will fall back using
+/dev/.udev/.
+
+On systemd systems with initramfs and LVM used, packagers must
+make sure, that the systemd and initramfs versions match. The initramfs
+needs to create the /run mountpoint for udev to store the data, and
+mount this tmpfs to /run in the rootfs, so the that the udev database
+is preserved for the udev version started in the rootfs.
+
+The command 'udevadm info --convert-db' is gone. The udev daemon
+itself, at startup, converts any old database version if necessary.
+
+The systemd services files have been reorganized. The udev control
+socket is bound by systemd and passed to the started udev daemon.
+The udev-settle.service is no longer active by default. Services which
+can not handle hotplug setups properly need to actively pull it in, to
+act like a barrier. Alternatively the settle service can be unconditionally
+'systemctl'enabled, and act like a barrier for basic.target.
+
+The fstab_import callout is no longer built or installed. Udev
+should not be used to mount, does not watch changes to fstab, and
+should not mirror fstab values in the udev database.

+Bugfixes.
+
+The udev database has changed, After installation of a new udev
+version, 'udevadm info --convert-db' should be called, to let the new
+udev/libudev version read the already stored data.
+
+udevadm now supports quoting of property values, and prefixing of
+key names:
+ $ udevadm info --export --export-prefix=MY_ --query=property -n sda
+ MY_MAJOR='259'
+ MY_MINOR='0'
+ MY_DEVNAME='/dev/sda'
+ MY_DEVTYPE='disk'
+ ...
+
+libudev now supports:
+ udev_device_get_is_initialized()
+ udev_enumerate_add_match_is_initialized()
+to be able to skip devices the kernel has created , but udev has
+not already handled.
+
+libudev now supports:
+ udev_device_get_usec_since_initialized()
+to retrieve the "age" of a udev device record.
+
+GUdev supports a more generic GUdevEnumerator class, udev TAG
+handling, device initialization and timestamp now.
+
+The counterpart of /sys/dev/{char,block}/$major:$minor,
+/dev/{char,block}/$major:$minor symlinks are now unconditionally
+created, even when no rule files exist.

+The option --debug-trace and the environemnt variable UDEVD_MAX_CHILDS=

+
+Udevd now checks the kernel commandline for the following variables:
+ udev.log-priority=<syslog priority>
+ udev.children-max=<maximum number of workers>
+ udev.exec-delay=<seconds to delay the execution of RUN=>
+to help debuging coldplug setups where the loading of a kernel
+module crashes the system.
+
+The subdirectory in the source tree rules/packages has been renamed to
+rules/arch, anc contains only architecture specific rules now.

+
+Now the udev daemon itself, does on startup:
+ - copy the content of /lib/udev/devices to /dev
+ - create the standard symlinks like /dev/std{in,out,err},
+ /dev/core, /dev/fd, ...
+ - use static node information provided by kernel modules
+ and creates these nodes to allow module on-demand loading
+ - possibly apply permissions to all ststic nodes from udev
+ rules which are annotated to match a static node
+
+The default mode for a device node is 0600 now to match the kernel
+created devtmpfs defaults. If GROUP= is specified and no MODE= is
+given the default will be 0660.
+
+udev 154
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Udev now gradually starts to pass control over the primary device nodes
+and their names to the kernel, and will in the end only manage the
+permissions of the node, and possibly create additional symlinks.
+As a first step NAME="" will be ignored, and NAME= setings with names
+other than the kernel provided name will result in a logged warning.
+Kernels that don't provide device names, or devtmpfs is not used, will
+still work as they did before, but it is strongly recommended to use
+only the same names for the primary device node as the recent kernel
+provides for all devices.

udev 152
========
Bugfixes.
+"udevadm trigger" defaults to "change" events now instead of "add"
+events. The "udev boot script" might need to add "--action=add" to
+the trigger command if not already there, in case the initial coldplug
+events are expected as "add" events.
+
+The option "all_partitons" was removed from udev. This should not be
+needed for usual hardware. Udev can not safely make assumptions
+about non-existing partition major/minor numbers, and therefore no
+longer provide this unreliable and unsafe option.
+
+The option "ignore_remove" was removed from udev. With devtmpfs
+udev passed control over device nodes to the kernel. This option
+should not be needed, or can not work as advertised. Neither
+udev nor the kernel will remove device nodes which are copied from
+the /lib/udev/devices/ directory.
+
+All "add|change" matches are replaced by "!remove" in the rules and
+in the udev logic. All types of events will update possible symlinks
+and permissions, only "remove" is handled special now.
+
+The modem modeswitch extra was removed and the external usb_modeswitch
+program should be used instead.
+
New and fixed keymaps.
