+udev 157
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The option --debug-trace and the environemnt variable UDEVD_MAX_CHILDS=
+was removed from udevd.
+
+Udevd now parses 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.
+
+udev 156
+========
+Bugfixes.

 udev 155
 ========
+Bugfixes.
+
+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.
