+udev 131
+========
+Bugfixes. (And maybe new bugs. :))
+
+The rule matching engine got converted from a rule list to a token
+array which reduced the in-memory rules representation of a full
+featured distros with thousends of udev rules from 1.2MB to 0.12 MB.
+Limits like 5 ENV and ATTR matches, and one single instance for most
+other keys per rule are gone.
+
+The NAME assignment is no longer special cased. If later rules assign
+a NAME value again, the former value will be overwritten. As usual
+for most other keys, the NAME value can be protected by doing a final
+assignment with NAME:="<value>".
+
+All udev code now uses libudev, which is also exported. The library
+is still under development, marked as experimental, and its interface
+may change as long as the DeviceKit integration is not finished.
+
+Many thanks to Alan Jenkins for his continuous help, and finding and
+optimizing some of the computing expensive parts.
+
+udev 130
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Kernel devices and device nodes are connected now by reverse indizes in
+/sys and /dev. A device number retrieved by a stat() or similar, the
+kernel device directory can be found by looking up:
+  /sys/dev/{block,char}/<maj>:<min>
+and the device node of the same device by looking up:
+  /dev/{block,char}/<maj>:<min>

 udev 129
 ========
-More libudev work. Most of udevadm's functionality comes from libudev
+Fix recently introduced bug, which caused a compilation without large
+file support, where vol_id does not recognize raid signatures at the end
+of a volume.
+
+Firewire disks now create both, by-id/scsi-* and by-id/ieee-* links.
+Seems some kernel versions prevent the creation of the ieee-* links,
+so people used the scsi-* link which disappeared now.
+
+More libudev work. Almost all udevadm functionality comes from libudev
 now.
 
 udevadm trigger has a new option --type, which allows to trigger events
-for "devices", for "subsystems" and "failed" devices. The old option
+for "devices", for "subsystems", or "failed" devices. The old option
 --retry-failed" still works, but is no longer mentioned in the man page.
